To guide a small boat across the trackless oceans using only a simple measuring device - the sextant - and the knowledge of the sun, moon and stars is a skill that borders on the magical.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e In these pages Tom Cuncliffe shows how to master the art in easy stages. Starting from a sound foundation of basic concepts and definitions, he moves on to the hardware: the sextant and how to use it. within a few pages he has you down on the beach, shooting the sun. From there it is a short step to working out your latitude from a noon sight, and learning how to plot a position from observation of the sun, planets, moon or stars - wherever you may be on the world's oceans.","brand":"Readers Paradise Book Shop Wexford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42543103475883,"sku":"","price":4.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0538\/7105\/0923\/products\/10_93761205-6aad-4de1-8e40-1a41069f5dc2.jpg?v=1677235296","url":"https:\/\/readersparadise.pro\/products\/celestial-navigation","provider":"ReadersParadise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
