I am a very new sailor, and I just bought my first boat, a Flicka 20. My boat has a VHF and I am interested in the uses of the different radio channels. I know that channel 16 is for emergencies, I think channel 9 is for contacting harbor control (at least in Catalina Island), but that's about it!
Could someone explain what the other channels uses are, and what is allowed and not allowed on the different channels?
