The Adlard Coles Book of Navigation is the perfect reference for
anyone following an RYA navigation course, from Day Skipper through
to Yachtmaster Offshore and for any seafarer requiring a knowledge
of navigation. This highly practical book explains everything the
reader needs to know to navigate a yacht or motorboat from one port
to another safely and accurately. Using clear diagrams, worked
examples and colour photographs throughout, Tim Bartlett explains
each stage of navigation, including electronic navigation.
'Excellent bestselling reference...you should be able to do it once
you've read this!' Kelvin Hughes "Particularly useful for readers
with little navigational experience...will also appeal to anyone
studying for navigational qualifications.' The Nautical Magazine 'A
must-have for any coastal and offshore yachtsman.' Yachting Monthly
The Adlard Coles Book of Diesel Engines is aimed at boatowners
rather than experienced mechanics. In clear, jargon-free English it
explains how a diesel engine works, how to look after it, and takes
into account developments in engine technology. The book explains
how the engine uses simple processes to covert fuel to power, and
then looks at the various sub-systems that allow those processes to
take place. She also advises on tools, winterizing and provides
hints, tips and helpful fault-finding tables. Systems covered
include: fuel, air, cooling, oil, electrical, propeller and
transmission and control. This fifth edition has been thoroughly
updated and illustrated with new full-colour photos and diagrams.
In particular the Common Rail Injection System is covered, which
governs how the fuel system is constructed, combined with the use
of electronics (as opposed to mechanics) to control it thereby
meeting the need for cleaner, greener engines to meet emissions
regulations. 'Strongly recommended for anyone who has anything to
do with the diesel engine' Nautical Magazine 'A winner' Classic
Boat 'The next best thing to taking the course itself' Motor Boats
