Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. [10], 150 pages. Illustrations. Navigation Publications. Conversion Table. Abbreviations. Index. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Tis text has been prepared to give the boatman the necessary knowledge for safe navigation under pilotage and dead reckoning conditions. With the dangerously crowded conditions on many of our inland waterways and the complete dependence of the crew on the skill of the navigator when operating off shore, the combination of knowledge and experience is a prerequisite for safe navigation. In this new text on piloting and dead reckoning, the authors have used a more informal approach and have eliminated data pertaining only to large vessels. This basic reference is filled with practical advise, step-by-step calculations, diagrams, and lots of helpful illustrations. It also introduces the reader to the increasingly sophisticated, satellite-monitoring navigational aids that have become more widely available in recent years. Novice and seasoned sailors alike will find information here on all important elements of piloting and dead reckoning. It also includes material on radar navigation and collision avoidance as well as numerous helpful illustrations and diagrams. Revised Printing [stated], second issuance [stated].
