A Short Course on Nautical Charts and Basic Plotting
Year: 2017 Language: english Author: Gary C. Kessler Genre: Reference book Publisher: Gary C. Kessler Edition: 3.5 (18.09.2017) Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 68 Description: This manual is intended for the recreational boater who wants to understand the elements of the nautical charts that we employ to learn how to navigate through a new body of water and perform basic plotting tasks. This manual is divided into two parts. Part 1 describes nautical charts from the perspective of a recreational mariner. Part 2 of the manual describes basic plotting. This sections starts by an explanation of the relationship between magnetic north (as shown on a compass), true north (as shown on a chart), and ship's north (i.e., as shown on your vessel's compass), and introduces the concepts of variance and deviation.
