Coastal and Offshore Navigation

Discover what the modern yacht navigator needs to know for a stress-free voyage along the coast and out of sight of land.
The purpose of Coastal and Offshore Navigation 3^rd Edition is to give the sailor – who has some knowledge of inshore work – a solid foundation in the arts of coastal and offshore navigation.  The approach to the subject is essentially practical, so that a yachtsman whose seafaring is done in a small sailing vessel can relate to and profit from the contents.

Considerable effort has been made to indicate the sort of accuracy that can reasonably be expected in the various facets of small craft navigation, so that the reader can sensibly evaluate their results.  All the threads with which the navigator weaves his patterns are drawn together at the end of the book in chapters on passage planning and navigational practice.  These explain what you actually do, while the earlier chapters give you the knowledge and expertise with which to do it, in reality, out at sea.

 Coastal and Offshore Navigation 3^rd Edition guides you through all the techniques you need to master - and shows you how to draw them together in practice to ensure a smooth trip and safe landfall.

 Includes:

• A review of the basic arts of navigation
• How to predict the tide - and make it work for you
• How to keep a realistic check on your navigational accuracy and modify your tactics accordingly
