3.0 out of 5 starsSailor Thoughts
By David in Florida on August 15, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Street rumor is Radar for Mariners, Revised Edition is the best book on the market. Magazines publishing radar articles know their articles are too old to be useful to boat purchasers. Problem I have with this book is I don't know how I install the platform on my mast for my radar. Also I need to know how I use radar on my sailboat when I'm traveling away from my hometown. I live in Jacksonville, FL, and hurricanes here occur about once every 10 years, and they are mostly rain. Hurricanes in south Florida and west Florida are famous for their winds and building destructions. A few pages on what sailboat should do when hurricanes surrond them would be helpful. American Sailing Association (ASA) is working all these problems in their courses. I have no idea what marine insurance companies want from their customers.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood book, but....
By John on July 17, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
As mentioned in a previous review, the simulation software is a 5/30 trial, meaning, you can open the trial software only 5 times over a 30 day period.

But what may be more significant is that the trial software will not run on a 64 bit computer (even after changing compatibility mode, or starting as an administrator.) At least that has been my experience. All other material (pdf's of plotting aids, radar manuals, screen shots) are accessible.

Four stars for lack of compatibility documentation.

5.0 out of 5 starsRadar For Mariners
By T. Hughes on January 11, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Excellent book! Well writen and provides real nuts and bolts information about how to use your radar and what you can reasonably expect in the way of performance. If you want technical you can get it in this book but, if you just want to know how to turn it on and use it, this is the book for you. Well illustrated and packed with real USEFULL information.

5.0 out of 5 starsRadar for mariners
By Mike C. on December 23, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is an Excellent Publication for mariners of all levels. I utilize this by handing out a copy to all of my students who are taking the Radar Simulator course.

It it just tooo bad that this publication is not IMO approved, nor is the Radar Simulator program which comes with the book. If it were, the $!,000.00 price, which I paid for this licence agreement would be a bargain, compared to the over $15,000.00 licence purchase agreement which I purchased for the approved IMO course of instruction.

This is an essential book for learning recreational mariner radar. All of David Burch's books on Navigation and Celestial Navigation are required reading for recreational sailors wanting to advance their knowledge of these topics. I own and recommend all of them.

Book works well for me. I knew very little about the subject or how to interpret the screens. The puchase was quick easy and received on the third working day.

3.0 out of 5 starsBetter Options
By R. Halkin on February 22, 2006
Format: Paperback
This is a descent book on the subject of marine radar. Since there aren't too many other books on the subject it's probably worth reading. However, the author goes into extreme detail on the engineering and related math of radar systems, something that the average user needs to know little of. You might want to skip that section. The book comes with a demo training radar simulator with the hope of getting you hooked so you'll pay an additional $200 for the real simulator and an online course. Save your money! Read the book (minus the over your head engineering section) and use the demo simulator. Then go out and practice on a sunny day....over and over. If you still feel the need for more instruction take a real classroom course. They're usually less expensive. Boatwise offers one for $79.

5.0 out of 5 starsBook/simulator used to supplement USCG Advanced Nav Course
By David E. Olsen on November 29, 2008
Format: Paperback
I find this book to be an excellent practical text for teaching extended use of radar. Coupling the functionality to the CG Rules of the Road is a tremendous service for mariners who want additional training over and above what is offered in most courses on the subject. Including an introductory (time limited) Starpath Simulator disk makes this a real bargin to those considering taking the simulator course.
