Navionics & Fundamentals of Navigation, 2 courses. Navigation has changed a lot in the past few years. You no longer need specialised skills. While tacticians have significance, the capacity for all crew members to navigate proficiently has become more attainable than ever before by software on their smartphones and GPS devices. This shift holds immense potential in bolstering safety on board, as every crew member can actively participate or should know how to navigate, thereby reducing the hazards associated with erroneous navigation. Learn how to use Navionics and learn the fundamentals of navigation by joining the 2 upcoming courses. Learn more here
