Sinopsis
Master basic navigation for small boats with clear, practical guidance you can use on the water. This handbook covers essential concepts like measuring position, plotting courses, and using common navigational tools. It presents practical methods for dead reckoning, simple sailing problems, and how to interpret instruments and charts at the helm.
From key definitions of latitude and longitude to practical instructions for using a log, rulers, and other instruments, the book builds a foundation you can apply on day trips or longer voyages. It explains plane, traverse, and various sailing methods, with working examples that illustrate how to compute courses and distances.
- Learn how to read charts, transfer lines, and plot bearings with basic instruments.
- Understand different sailing methods (plane, traverse, middle latitude) and how they apply to short-range trips.
- Get step-by-step explanations of dead reckoning, including how to use Bowditch tables for quick calculations.
- See practical guidance on reading logs, timing the ship’s speed, and converting distance to latitude and longitude.
Ideal for readers new to navigation and boaters who want a solid, approachable reference at the water’s edge.

Excerpt from Small Boat Navigation
Piloting is determining the position of a vessel by observations on known visible charted objects, or by soundings of the depth of the sea.
Dead Reckoning, or the method of sailings, is a means of deducing a vessel's position from the direction and distance sailed from a previous known position. This method involves the rules of plane trigonometry.

Excerpt from Small Boat Navigation
Navigation is that science which affords the knowledge necessary to conduct a vessel from one point to another on the earth and provides a means of determining the position of the vessel at any time. There are three general branches to this science, viz:
(1) Piloting.
(2) Dead Reckoning.
(S) Nautical Astronomy.
Piloting is determining the position of a vessel by observations on known visible charted objects, or by soundings of the depth of the sea.
Dead Reckoning, or the method of sailings, is a means of deducing a vessel's position from the direction and distance sailed from a previous known position. This method involves the rules of Diane trigonometry.
