Description
For accurate navigation and piloting, a plastic sextant is a valuable tool. This book explains how to use a plastic sextant to measure angular heights of celestial bodies and find latitude and longitude, as well as how to use it on land with artificial horizons.
It also covers the use of sextants for piloting in coastal waters, using charted landmarks to determine position and distance. The book presents numerical comparisons with metal sextants and reviews sextant piloting techniques, making it an ideal resource for those looking to improve their navigation skills.
