The greatest fear of many Captains is having to navigate in Adverse Weather conditions such as rain, snow, fog or smog.
With the development of a new device in Canada there may well be an answer
Of course every superyacht has radar but even the best of radars rely on the operator to interpret the picture correctly.
Radar is an effective eye in the dark and fog but rain can affect it badly so it pays to have a back up.
The Night Navigator SOS is a new device from the Current Corporation that uses four sensors to produce one image:
- Image-Intensified Night Vision
- Infrared Active Gated Laser

The fusing of these combines to produce one image and it is mightily effective when used at sea.
