Comedic sound aside, this was actually one of the most informative videos I've seen re Radar. Very useful for those of us that have found out you need Radar skills for your YM Coastal or Offshore exam, and whilst are able to revise six minute plots and the concepts of starting up and tuning a Radar, are unable to visualise what the display will actually look like in a real life scenario. Even better that the scenario is in the Solent, where I am booked to do the course.
Very good video. However I think the answer to why the radar is off target to the Ais could be one of two things. First radar not aligned on this boat. Two the other ship programmed their mounting of their GPS using feet when it asked for meter. Making the icon view out of place. This is a common mistake when setting up Ais data.
Thanks for educational videos. I want to know how to sail wail and you guys are helping with that. BTW can you feature hot girls on your show please. TA Blesses Arek
First of all, you should learn on paper cynematic so as to understand what it is that you see on a screen. Secondly put speed on a on board sensor, speed on the surface, not GPS which gives on the bottom (all objects move on the surface...); third put north up or couse up so as to see on the screen what you see looking outside, fourth and most important: look outside, keep a sharp lookout, learn to feel the relative motion of the objects around you: remember, you are a fixed object, the surrounding moves relatively to you and take the electronics as a useful help, no more. You can go at sea without radar, AIS, GPS......and all Navigation Codes state this principle, even if for cathegories of shipping they may be compulsory but not an excuse for bad watchkeeping.

My right ear enjoyed this video very much.

if boaters had flight instructors, like pilots do, he would be saying "Keep Your Head Out Of The Cockpit "
