Today, yachts are often equipped with radar, GPS, chart plotters, AIS, etc. This equipment has also become much more reliable, making it possible to make long offshore passages without a great knowledge of navigation. However, such equipment can be set up wrongly, interpreted incorrectly, malfunction or lose power. In these circumstances, knowledge of traditional navigation can become extremely important. This book will teach you how to navigate in the traditional way using compass, log and plotter; and also how to navigate using electronic aids like GPS, radar and chart plotter. In addition, you will learn some basic celestial navigation using the sun and stars to obtain your position using sextant, almanacs, tables and a watch. Each method of navigation is explained alongside detailed illustrations and examples, combining to make a straightforward and easy-to-follow guide. Due to the design of the book, we have had to restrict the layout of the ebook to PDF style which may result in giving you a more restricted reading experience. For this reason, we would not recommend viewing it on very small screens.

Excerpt from Navigation: Illustrated by Diagrams This book is intended for the use of young men of limited mathematical training who hope to qualify as Ensigns in the United States Navy, or for officers in the Naval Reserve, or Merchant Marine. The text is clari fied by a far fuller use Of diagrams than in other works Of similar scope, for the author believes in graphic ex planations whenever these are possible. The work is Of a practical character and deals with the subject from the modern standpoint, leading up to an understanding of the value of Sumner lines and St. Hilaire's method. The endeavor has been made to use simple language and to avoid mathematical abstractions and exercises that are of little practical value to the navigator.
