Complete Navigation Guide

Master traditional and electronic navigation for Day Skipper to Yachtmaster level.

This second edition of the best-selling RYA Navigation Handbook is essential reading for anyone taking to the water and looking for the complete guide to navigation.

Navigation techniques and practices have changed dramatically over the years and today, many sailors and motor boaters regard electronic instruments as their principal means of navigation. However, traditional methods still have an important part to play, as does knowledge of aspects such as tides, lights, buoys and beacons.

This edition has been redesigned with that in mind; to provide the reader with a sound understanding of the principles of navigation as well as providing insight into the ways in which electronic navigation can be used to best effect.

This book will help to ensure the development of a 'well rounded' and competent navigator.

Melanie Bartlett is one of the country's leading experts on navigation. She learnt to navigate as part of her professional training at Dartmouth Naval College and since leaving the navy has become the Technical Editor of Motor Boat and Yachting magazine.

Suitable for: Day Skipper Theory, Day Skipper Practical Sail, Day Skipper Practical Motor, Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster Offshore Theory, Coastal Skipper Practical Sail, Coastal Skipper Practical Motor, Advanced Powerboat, and Essential Navigation and Seamanship courses.

Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced
