Basic Coastal Navigation is a clearly written, easy to understand introduction to coastal navigation, outlining most of the techniques of piloting that are still fundamental to safe navigation despite today's electronic aids. Step by step, the reader is guided from simple to more complex piloting solutions and eventually learns to plot a complete day trip. In addition to dead-reckoning techniques, the author covers tides and currents; he also introduces the major features of Loran and GPS. There are numerous illustrations throughout the text and practice problems at the end of each chapter. This comprehensive course can be used for self-study or in a course setting, and it also provides a valuable reference for the more experienced sailor who wants to freshen up his skills after a period of inactivity | Basic Coastal Navigation by Frank J.
