By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inshore Navigation (Paperback)
The second updated edition of Tom Cunliffe's classic is written with the idea of a 'quick start', reviewing the basics of navigation and coverings all the foundations of using charts, GPS, plotting a fix, working out navigation and more. He's one of Britain's leading experts on yacht navigation and is also an instructor examiner and consultant: his jump start and background teaching navigation will delight beginning sailors and collections catering to them.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book. However...,
This review is from: Inshore Navigation (Paperback)
I'm glad I checked this out at the library first prior to buying. It needs to be said that this book is very UK-centric, and when it talks about charts, aids to navigation, etc., it does not mention NOAA charts nor the U.S. way of doing things ("red right returning", and so on) which, in the book's own words is "radically different" than in the UK and Europe. Although many concepts are still applicable, this makes the book less than useful for U.S. readers. Unless you're planning a cruise to Europe, that is. :)
