Coastal Navigation

Coastal Navigation for Class and Home Study is based on the notes prepared for students during some 20 years of teaching navigation, initially to private or commercial pilots, and then to sailors and professional mariners. The book is copiously illustrated with graphics showing how to plot courses and bearings, as well as regular and advanced Lines of Position using the international system of labeling. It provides simple and straightforward step-by-step methods. Additional notes and explanations are given in the areas where students traditionally experience difficulties, together with supplementary examples and exercises. The companion book, Coastal Navigation Exercises, offers all the exercises needed for practice.
