The Sextant Handbook. Adjustment, Repair, Use and History
Year: 1986 Language: english Author: Bauer B.A. Genre: Handbook Publisher: International Marine Publishing Co ISBN: 0-87742-956-1 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 195 Description: From the moment we start thinking about sailing offshore, we're taught the sextant is a device that is not to be tampered with. This can be risky business for the ocean voyager, for celestial navigation can be only as precise as the instrument itself. Daily use, a bump, a jostle, temperature, humidity, even long periods of non-use, can throw the instrument off. And if that most catastrophic of all events occurs and the sextant is dropped, most navigators will have a real problem. The Sextant Handbook, Adjustment, Repair, Use and History tackles all those problems and much more in a simple, easily understood manner. Put in the simplest terms, The Sextant Handbook is not a book on how to navigate, but rather a book on how to make a sextant "user friendly." It is designed to not only fill the gaps about maintenance and repair left by the world's great books of navigation, but to make the beginning and expert navigator alike completely familiar with the bits and pieces and workings of the instrument, as well as comfortable and competent at keeping the device working properly.
