Today, yachts are often equipped with radar, GPS, chart plotters,
AIS, etc. This equipment has also become much more reliable, making
it possible to make long offshore passages without a great
knowledge of navigation. However, such equipment can be set up
wrongly, interpreted incorrectly, malfunction or lose power. In
these circumstances, knowledge of traditional navigation can become
extremely important. This book will teach you how to navigate in
the traditional way using compass, log and plotter; and also how to
navigate using electronic aids like GPS, radar and chart plotter.
In addition, you will learn some basic celestial navigation using
the sun and stars to obtain your position using sextant, almanacs,
tables and a watch. Each method of navigation is explained
alongside detailed illustrations and examples, combining to make a
straightforward and easy-to-follow guide. Due to the design of the
book, we have had to restrict the layout of the ebook to PDF style
which may result in giving you a more restricted reading
experience. For this reason, we would not recommend viewing it on
very small screens.
