STRESS-FREE NAVIGATION.By Duncan Welss. Paperback, 0.47kg, 180mm x 246mm, 160 pages, full colour illustrations. Published 2019.
You might think stress-free navigation sounds like an impossible paradox. Isn’t navigation complicated, full of tricky calculations, difficult to get your head around?
It need not be. All boaters, whether under sail or under power, need to be able to navigate safely on the water – to keep themselves and their crew out of trouble and to avoid endangering others. Step in the ever knowledgeable and resourceful “Mr Stress-Free”: having in previous books presented techniques for sailing and motorboating in an accessible, manageable fashion, Duncan Wells now turns his attention to navigation. He makes concepts easy to understand and the practice of navigation achievable for all – with minimum stress.
This book covers the basic introductory elements clearly and simply for novices, and progresses through more advanced techniques for experienced navigators, so that there is something for everyone, whatever your skill level. And most importantly, Stress-Free Navigation is tailored to modern methods, using GPS, electronic chart plotters, apps and integrated weather and tide programs. Each chapter starts with the electronic and moves to the ‘traditional’ to explain what the clever-looking stuff is telling us.

ILLUSTRATED NAVIGATION.By Ivan Dedekam. Paperback, 0.22kg, 170mm x 240mm, 85 pages, full colour illustrations. 3rd Edition 2017.
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.

Nothing beats radar for guiding your boat through the darkest night or the thickest fog. Radar enables you to plot a fix from just a single buoy or landmark, and is the only navigation tool that tells you not just where you are, but who else or what else is out there with you. Today's smaller, affordable, efficient radars make more sense than ever for sailors and powerboaters.
Adopted by the American Sailing Associateion for their radar course and used by professional and recreational radar training schools around the world, this complete, in-depth manual shows you how to:
