Navigation

Celestial navigation is plotting a course by measuring vertical sextant angles of the sun, moon, planets and stars (i.e. following star patterns). Sailors find current positions, and therefore routes and destinations, by orientating themselves in relation to any celestial bodies, just by following a simple celestial navigation course. With Sailing Training CD, you can dip into the ancient art of Wayfinding, or non-instrumental navigation, via our action summary and applicable abbreviations. Intrepid yachtsmen have been using celestial navigation for centuries to chart their unknown positions in relation to the relatively fixed stars in the sky. Celestial navigation training is a popular discipline; and in the event of a GPS system failure, even dummies can navigate swiftly and intelligently through the seas. Sailing Training CD also offers Sextant instruction for first time users, just in case your on-board equipment lets you down in a time of need.
