Year: 1988 Language: english Author: Captain J. O. Coote Genre: Guide Publisher: Norton, W. W. & Company, Inc. Edition: First ISBN: 0-393-03326-0 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 139 Description: When you start sailing, you’ll navigate by looking where you want to go, and going there. Some people spend their whole sailing careers that way. But it’s a good idea to learn at least basic navigation— to be able to read a chart, plot a course and steer accurately by compass. It’s easy to learn, and you don’t need much in the way of math skills. If you take a sailing course, the curriculum will include all the above, and more. Once you start sailing on your own, you should assemble a kit with essential navigation tools, especially if you’re going to rent boats. Few rentals have anything in the way of navigation equipment other than a compass, and sometimes not even that, so you’d better bring your own. Here’s what you need—it’s all available at any marine store:
