I designed this course at the request of Euronav to teach RYA instructors all about
seaPro.
With the introduction of electronic chart-plotting to the RYA syllabus, there was
a need to familiarise instructors with the subject. I was asked to produce and deliver
a course of instruction to RYA instructors.
I believe this to be the most comprehensive seaPro course available.
seaPro is an excellent choice for yachtsmen wishing to use their PC aboard their
boat.
One of the best and most versatile chart-plotting systems for personal computers,
it allows pre-trip planning, including best time of departure to make the quickest
passage. When travelling across the tidal stream, seaPro predicts the track covered
over the ground, unlike many other systems. SeaPro also calculates weather routing,
using forecast wind conditions, and the racing version gives lots of valuable information
to the tactician/navigator. SeaPro can be coupled to an AIS receiver to show closest
point of approach of commercial vessels and is also compatible with Koden’s PC radar,
giving radar overlay and MARPA.
I have been using seaPro for 9 years aboard my own boat, so come to Hythe for the
full course, which comes complete with course handbook or CD, or I can give you personal
tuition on board your own boat.
Call me to discuss what version of seaPro will suit you best.
