Description

Celestial Navigation is an essential guide to using the sun, moon, planets, and stars as reference points in marine navigation. Experienced sailor Tom Cunliffe reveals how any boat owner can learn this maritime technique, without complex mathematics, through a simplified approach. Readers start with a solid foundation of basic concepts and definitions, before moving on to the hardware - the sextant and how to use it.
