Description
Designed specifically for students of Celestial Navigation courses, this manual explains how to obtain approximate latitudes or longitudes with primitive tools, or an exact position with a sextant and the relevant tables. It has been constantly improved over 12 or 13 years of classes to reflect the comments from over 150 students. The manual prepares mariners for the official tests such as those organized by the RYA, ASA, Sail Canada and other certification agencies.
It explains the concepts behind the procedures, and carefully guides the students from step to step through numerous illustrations as well as graphics, examples, exercises, and sample cruises. It has been well proven over many years, and has allowed numerous mariners to pass the tests through self-study. All the required tables are included, as well as the simple work forms and plotting sheets. These can be reproduced by photocopy.
