Item description from seller

A very clean copy. Jeff Toghill’s Celestial Navigation for Beginners is a compact, practical introduction to traditional navigation for sailors who want to understand the fundamentals behind sextant work and position‑finding. Toghill explains how to take sights of the sun, planets, and stars; how to adjust and use a sextant; how to work with radio time signals; and how to plot positions with straightforward, non‑technical methods. The book is designed for readers without strong mathematical backgrounds, making it a long‑standing favourite among coastal and blue‑water sailors wanting a clear, confidence‑building guide.
