Coastal Navigation
Navigation skills are based on the questions "Where am I now?" and "How do I safely get from here to where I want to go?" This book answers those questions by covering charts, chart work, navigational strategies, passage planning traditional navigation techniques and electronic navigational equipment. This book will benefit participants in most of the Yachting Australia Training Schemes.
