The purpose of "Coastal and Offshore Navigation 3rd Edition" is to
give the sailor - who has some knowledge of inshore work - a solid
foundation in the arts of coastal and offshore navigation. The
approach to the subject is essentially practical, so that a
yachtsman whose seafaring is done in a small sailing vessel can
relate to and profit from the contents.
Considerable effort has been made to indicate the sort of
accuracy that can reasonably be expected in the various facets of
small craft navigation, so that the reader can sensibly evaluate
their results. All the threads with which the navigator weaves his
patterns are drawn together at the end of the book in chapters on
passage planning and navigational practice. These explain what you
actually do, while the earlier chapters give you the knowledge and
expertise with which to do it, in reality, out at sea.
"Coastal and Offshore Navigation 3rd Edition" guides you through
all the techniques you need to master - and shows you how to draw
them together in practice to ensure a smooth trip and safe
landfall.
Includes: A review of the basic arts of navigation How to
predict the tide - and make it work for you How to keep a realistic
check on your navigational accuracy and modify your tactics
accordingly Safe and constructive use of electronic aids to
navigation Passage planning for an enjoyable, satisfying voyage
Passage making: a systematic, no-nonsense approach
