An indispensable myth-busting guide to the reality of navigation.
All boaters, whether under sail or under power, need to be able to
navigate safely on the water--both to keep themselves and their crew out
of trouble and to avoid endangering others. Yet navigation has often
been presented almost as a black art--complicated, full of tricky math,
and with alien concepts to get your head around.
Mr. Stress-Free having in his previous books presented techniques for
sailing and motorboating in an accessible, manageable fashion, Duncan
Wells now turns his attention to navigation. He makes concepts easy to
understand and the practice of navigation perfectly achievable for
all--with minimum stress.
The book covers the basic introductory elements clearly and simply for
novices, and progresses through more advanced techniques for experienced
navigators, so that there is something for everyone, whatever their
skill level. Diagrams, quick-reference tables and flowcharts,
explanatory step-by-step photographs, box features, top tips and QR
codes--giving access to explanatory videos--are all features that have
been much appreciated by readers of Duncan's other top-selling titles.
