Description
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.
