New Boats: Radar is an excellent means of marine navigation and is used on vessels of all sizes, down to new boats of about twenty feet in length. Although not installed on all recreational new boats, its capabilities and limitations should be known to all boaters for their own safety when cruising on waters navigated by radar-equipped vessels.
The prudent skipper will have a thorough knowledge of the Rules that apply to all types of new boats and ships that operate on waters that he or she uses. The official text of the Rules are in the Coast Guard publication Navigation Rules, International-Inland, which is available at most chart outlets. The major requirements that apply to recreational new boats are listed briefly here.See Also Boat Trader Online:The latest eight Notices are available online at http://pollux.nss.nima.mil.

There are two electronic navigation systems available to skippers of boats as well as to navigators of large ships. The cost, size, and power requirements of these systems have now been reduced to the point that they are feasible options for boats of almost any size. The newer, and now the more widely used, system is the Global Positioning System (GPS). Also used by many boaters is Loran, an older system still in operation. Almost all new installations, however, are GPS.
