Description
The Practical Guide to Celestial Navigation provides step-by-step instructions for navigating without modern technology. Using a sextant and tables from an Almanac, you can calculate your position with accuracy of about 3⁄4 miles.
This guide is essential for those in the maritime industry who need to know how to carry out celestial navigation, such as commercial skippers and superyacht captains preparing for their RYA Ocean Yachtmaster exam. The book breaks down complex concepts into clear, jargon-free explanations, accompanied by colour diagrams and unique checklist sheets.
Phil Somerville's experience training students in this subject is evident throughout the book, which also includes a 'What went wrong?' chapter to help you spot common errors and pitfalls.
