The object of this book is to give sailors and motorboaters enough knowledge to navigate safely on short inshore poassages. It gets you on the water as soon as possible and keeps you out of trouble while you learn the essentials. All the time-honoured navigational concepts are covered, but this modern book is based on the assumption that you will be using GPS and possibly an electronic chart plotter too. If you wanted to sail without either, all you need is here, but time moves on and this book embraces the new ways with enthusiasm. It’s heavily illustrated which suits the modern market down to a tee.
