Marine VHF radio is the best way of summoning help. You
can contact the coastguard up to 50 miles offshore and talk to
other yachts
up to 15 to 20 miles on the open sea.
If you use a marine VHF radio onboard your yacht you require,
by law, a radio operator’s certificate. This is a 1-day
course, which on completion, you will be a competent radio operator
and know the correct procedure for distress, urgency, and safety
by means of marine VHF DSC radio.
