The methods of navigation used by the modern boat owner have changed quite rapidly
from the traditional methods still currently taught. This doesn’t make the old methods
wrong; it just means that the emphasis has changed.
With GPS used in many cars, the level of computer skills of the general public being
high, and the so-called paperless offi ce, the modern boat owner desires a different
approach to navigation.
‘Practical Navigation for the Modern Boat Owner’ will lead you through all aspects of
navigation of your boat in a logical order. The pencil and paper chart part of the subject
is not introduced until it’s demonstrated that some knowledge of traditional navigation is
necessary. This practical approach to the subject will ensure that although the modern
electronic methods of navigation remain at the forefront, the reader will never be lacking
in suffi cient knowledge to navigate his/her boat safely in any circumstance.
