Onboard Systems

Learn all the basics about solar panel technology, components and applications. Solar Panels are used more and more aboard yachts and the technology is evolving, quickly increasing power and efficiency.
Both for racing and cruising, this technology can help make life better onboard, it is important to know as much as possible to make the right choice when you buy the system or when you sail on a boat with a system already installed.

An introduction to the calibration of electronic equipment, especially useful for leisure sailing yachts but also useful for leisure motor yachts.

This course introduces PC-based solutions as a more customisable alternative to a regular setup. The course includes a setup example with the software MaxSea TimeZero.

A short course on how to use basic numbers in sailing and racing.

This course is an introduction to different kinds of radar systems. The course covers pulse radar vs broadband radar. It includes installation, how to use it, placement of the antenna, and a video demonstration.

This course is an introduction to satellite-based communication systems. The course covers satellite systems, including coverage, speed, price and usage. It also introduces the possibility of having an internet connection on board while at sea.

In this course, you will learn the basics and understand the technologies on board modern sailing yachts.

This course allows you to be certificated as an Actisense Accredited Installer. It gives a full overview of the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) work, of NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 networks & protocols and how to use Actisense's products at their best.

This course covers the electrochemical series and why corrosion occurs. Also, how to actively prevent galvanic corrosion and what to be aware of in terms of galvanic currents.

Both RADAR and AIS instruments are precious aids in preventing the risk of collisions at sea. The way they work is based on totally different technologies. A RADAR transmits radio signals, receives their echo through a rotating antenna processed, and shows them on the instrument display. An AIS transmits and receives a vessel's navigation information on dedicated VHF channels and calculates the potential collision risk.

Corso rivolto a chi si mette al comando di un’imbarcazione da diporto. Condurre in sicurezza l’imbarcazione, vuol dire anche gestire le relazioni a bordo. Le variabili in barca sono molte e una di queste è l'emotività, perché in tanti si mettono al timone ma non tutti sanno mettersi "al comando".

La sicurezza di bordo è fondamentale. Scopri come affrontare una situazione di emergenza e come preparare il tuo equipaggio per una navigazione senza rischi per godersi la crociera al meglio.
