Digital Marine a new Sydney based company has launched a service to assist boat-owners in getting to know their onboard systems better, with group or one on one onboard tuition and calibration of vessel systems.

Principal of the business Stuart Graham has been in the marine electronics field for many years and believes there are plenty of owners who would love to understand their expensive electronics packages better. "Having sold the leading brands of electronics, I often come across owners thirsty for knowledge about their electronic systems onboard their boats."

Digital Marine runs tuition for owners and skippers starting with the basics of coastal navigation using a paper chart. From there the tuition covers the layout and components within the navigation system onboard each particular boat and their operation in isolation. The final piece of the puzzle is operating the system as a whole using all the various technologies together. New advances in technology are also covered during the course so that owners have a clearer understanding of the ever changing marine electronics field.

The aims of the course are to make people feel more relaxed about pushing buttons on their systems, leading to more enjoyable and safer boating.

Digital Marine also offer calibration of systems for power and sail boats. This can have some great benefits in terms of fuel consumption for power boats when under autopilot, or faster passage making in cruising yachts to better results on the race track for the racing sailor.
