ORCV Practical, hands-on marine radio workshop
About
All sailors, skipper and crew, should be confident in their ability to operate the communications equipment on any boat. You never know when you may be called upon to issue an important distress call or coordinate radio communication while your skipper comes to the aid of another vessel.While your Marine Radio Operators Certificate of Proficiency is a very important step it only recently included a limited practical component. This hands-on practical workshop provides the practical experience required to deal with routine radio communications.
The ORCV has developed this hands-on workshop to provide new skippers and crew with the opportunity to gain the experience required to operate marine radios with confidence.
Whilst the focus is on Radio operation, we are also providing a presentation on emerging technologies such as instrument systems, Electrical battery and charging on yachts. A presentation will also be provided on maintenance aspects of a boat’s diesel engine.
