What is the history of the founding of Dubai?

When you first see the glittering skyscrapers of Dubai, it's hard to imagine that less than a century ago there were only sand dunes and fishing boats bobbing on the waves of the Persian Gulf. The history of Dubai begins at the beginning of the XVIII century, when the Bani Yas clan founded a small settlement near the Dubai Creek. This narrow bay has become a vital artery for trade and fishing. In 1833, the Al Maktoum clan peacefully seized power, and since then Dubai has been ruled by this dynasty. But the real turning point came in the middle of the 20th century with the discovery of oil. Instead of relying solely on oil revenues, wise rulers invested in infrastructure, trade and tourism, turning Dubai into a global hub in a few decades.

What navigation systems are used on yachts?

Yachts use various navigation systems to ensure safe and accurate sailing: GPS (Global Positioning System): The main system for location and navigation. Modern GPS receivers provide data on the coordinates, speed and course of the yacht. Chartplotters: Electronic devices that display maps and integrate GPS data, providing a visual representation of the route and surrounding objects. Autopilots: Automatic control systems that help maintain the yacht's course without the constant intervention of the captain. AIS (Automatic Identification System): An automatic identification system that allows you to see other vessels in the field of view and exchange data on location, speed and course. Radar systems: Used to detect objects and navigate in low visibility conditions such as fog or night. Echo sounders: Devices for measuring the depth of water under the keel of a yacht, which helps to avoid shoals and underwater obstacles. Paper nautical charts and compasses: Traditional navigation tools that remain important in the case of failure of electronic systems.
