VHF Afloat cover

VHF Afloat explains how to use your VHF DSC radio. It covers licensing the equipment and gaining the operator certificate, and then takes you through each type of call. Each procedure is clearly illustrated using the yacht Sierra, to show how the radio is used on a passage to communicate with marinas, other vessels and the Coastguard, including how a MAYDAY is managed by the rescue services. Use VHF Afloat to help pass the assessment, and then keep it on board when you need to make a call - the facts will be right at your fingertips.

"...contains all relevant updates...step-by-step instructions and full colour photos take you through the whole subject." (Practical Boat Owner) "...explanations are clear and easily understood and there are copious diagrams...well worth having aboard as a quick reference and refresher." (Sailing Today)
