Description
 Self-Contained – With Answers
This book is a self-contained book of realistic celestial and other blue-water navigation problems. The text includes all of the necessary Nautical Almanac and Sight Reduction Table pages, with answers and full explanations.
All of the commonly encountered navigational problems are covered, as well as those that are used only occasionally and whose routines may have been forgotten, such as the backsight for bodies nearly overhead or in cases where the “front” horizon is obscured, finding Venus and Mars in daylight, and storm avoidance.
An appendix contains a photocopiable sight reduction form and a review of procedures and methods for taking the various sights.
This book is an extremely practical self-tutorial for newcomers, and also experienced navigators who want revision or up-skilling in the arts.
