Whilst
Amateur Radio has a great history of invention
and service to both business and the general
public as a whole,
this website is dedicated to the
sailing fraternity
with the primary objective of providing
information and training facility
as it applies
to “Safety at Sea through Wireless Communication”.
If you
plan any blue water sailing, we invite you to
join
us to make your adventure safer and to
embrace
a new and fascinating world of communication.
