Description

Celestial Navigation is a comprehensive guide to using the sun, moon, planets, and stars to navigate the seas. Tom Cunliffe, a veteran yachtsman, shares his simplified approach to mastering this essential seafaring technique, making it accessible to anyone who wants to learn.

Starting with a solid foundation of basic concepts and definitions, readers will learn how to use a sextant and work out their latitude from a noon sight. They will also discover how to plot a position by observing the sun, planets, moon, or stars, no matter where they are on the world's oceans.
