Get to grips with navigation at sea. This best-selling book gives you all the information you need to know to do just that!

It covers all modern navigation and has been updated to reflect upcoming changes in Admiralty charts. It is recommended by Fernhurst Books for beginners and Day Skipper students. Written by an RYA Yachtmaster Instructor and Examiner who runs her own RYA Training Centre which specialises in navigation, it is the perfect place for newcomers to navigation to start. It explains simply how to look at charts (paper or digital), find your position, look at tides, plan your passage and determine the course to steer.
