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.

The Emirates Towers are two elegant skyscrapers reflecting sunlight and symbolizing the city's business prowess. The Cayan Tower, also known as the "twisted tower," rotates 90 degrees from base to top, creating a stunning visual effect.
