Pontoon Boats: Radar is an excellent means of marine navigation and is used on vessels of all sizes, down to pontoon boats of about twenty feet in length. Although not installed on all recreational pontoon 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 pontoon 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 pontoon boats are listed briefly here.See Also Mastercraft Boats:There are two electronic navigation systems available to skippers of mastercraft 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 mastercraft 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.
To receive VSC approval, all recreational mastercraft boats used on coastal waters or the Great Lakes must have a minimum of three Coast Guard-approved day and night visual distress signals that have not reached their expiration dates. Some signals, such as red flares, can serve for both day and night requirements. mastercraft boats operating on inland waters should have some means of making a suitable day and night distress signals.
On The Other Hand See Mastercraft Boat Dealers:mastercraft Boat dealers-to-mastercraft Boat dealers calls. When you hear your mastercraft Boat dealers called, put your transmitter on the air and say: "(Name of mastercraft Boat dealers that called), this is (name of your mastercraft Boat dealers), over." Switch to the agreed-upon inter-ship working channel. After the conversation is completed, say: "This is (name of your mastercraft Boat dealers), out."
Shore-to-ship calls. When you hear the name of your mastercraft Boat dealers called, put your transmitter on the air and say: "(Name of station that called), this is (name of your mastercraft Boat dealers and call sign), over." After the conversation is completed, say: "This is (name of your mastercraft Boat dealers), out."
You begin to see value well above actual purchasing power in your change! The market value of a BU set for 1962 would be from 38s but you would probably have to pick them up individually from dealers and the cost could be more. Investment rolls you will probably have to make up yourself although some dealers may carry them. Value of Maundy Set FDC is £20. Your Elizabethan Year Set for 1961 carries no halfpenny. A penny BU can be 3s, sixpence and threepence 4s; the English shilling is 5s but the Scottish jumps to 13s for BU. The Maundy Set FDC is £20.
