This best-selling book starts from scratch, uses no jargon and features diagrams and pictures, instead of words, wherever possible. It has been updated to cover all modern navigation. Written by an RYA Yachtmaster Instructor and Examiner who runs her own RYA Training Centre which specialises in navigation, it is the perfect place for newcomers to navigation to start.
It explains simply how to look at charts, find your position, look at tides, plan your passage and determine the course to steer. In a new innovation, diagrams from this book are being made available to navigation instructors to use in their own classes: apply for these from fernhurst@fernhurstbooks.com.
