What They’re Saying
Customer Testimonials
I’ve been the Principal of an RYA centre for over 2 decades. During that time we have used Lightmaster products to train literally thousands of students in Radar. The simulator gives the Instructor full control of realistic scenarios while giving the students all the features common across all brands of Radar. This software helps prepare our power-boaters and sailors for the real world.
I have used the Lightmaster Radar Training software on courses for a very long time. It is a very useful radar trainer to get the functionality and use of radar across to students. It is easy to construct exercises of your own, or it comes with many exercises preloaded and ready for use. It also features a simulator so that an exercise can be run and the vessels speed and course can be changed to interact with targets or a coastline.
I wouldn’t be without it.
