Hi Guys,

Just found these on the internet:

I've just seen a few sequences of the ship manoeuvres - not very realistic!

I just saw "turning a vessel short round". If you do that in real life, you would have an very angry chief engineer on the bridge in no time! The exhaust temperatures of the main engine would go sky high if you give rudder hard to port/starboard with the main engine running at full ahead.

As Bottman says - Not very realistic!

But the radar plotting exercises are good if you know nothing about it and want to learn it.

The same counts with the rest.
If you want to learn the IALA-A buoyage system.

Thanks for the link!
