Second Edition.
This is "the" reference text for anyone following RYA navigation courses, from Day Skipper through to Yachtmaster Offshore.
Updated for the second edition to cover the latest exam syllabuses, Tim Bartlett explains how to read and understand charts, and then takes the reader logically through the stages of navigation: measuring direction and distance, electronic equipment, position fixing, tides, the difference between dead reckoning and estimated position, lights, buoys and fog signals, radar, pilotage, and finally passage-making.
This book contains everything you need to know to navigate a yacht or motorboat from one port to another safely and accurately.
