The Iris contains all modern navigation equipment to safely sail the oceans.
Along with traditional navigational instruments such as a magnetic compass, sextant and a trailing log she has all modern means of navigation like an electronic compass, radar and GPS-satellite navigation.
Radio communications like a VHF radio and telephone are able to maintain constant contact with coastal stations.
Navtex (weather and safety information system), echo-sounder and automatic pilot guarantee comfort and safety.
The advanced on board computer constantly presents actual positions on screen ("Geographic Information System"). In combination with traditional navigation methods like "dead reckoning" the chances of losing your way at sea are reduced to the minimum!
