Year: 1975 Language: english Author: Norwille W. Genre: Manual Publisher: International Marine Publications Co ISBN: 0-87742-056-4 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 203 Description: Everyone who embarks in a boat, no matter the size, employs coastal navigation in one form or another. In some cases, seat-of-the-pants piloting is all that is necessary; in other cases, only careful attention to the details of scientific piloting will get you there and back with a reasonable margin of safety. This book — a text on all aspects of piloting, from the simple to the complex — will help you find your way alongshore in every variety of condition. As he did in his noteworthy book, Celestial Navigation Step by Step, Warren Norville lays out the principles and practices of piloting and dead reckoning in a concise and methodical form. Beginning with theory and terminology, he takes the reader on an imaginary voyage (based on real circumstances) along the Gulf Coast of the United States. In step after step, he introduces you to charts, buoyage systems, lines of position, position fixing, plotting instruments, speed measurement, depth sounding, and electronic navigation. Illustrated with numerous diagrams and photographs, and including scores of practice problems and solutions, this book contains all the information that is necessary to an understanding of piloting. This information, when put together with practical experience, is what you need to know to become a competent coastwise navigator.
