<p>Cruising sailors who venture beyond the sign of land - on either sailboats or powerboats - should have a thorough knowledge of celestial navigation to allow them to plot and follow a course. On long sailing races, this facility becomes critically important to winning. <br><br>Celestial navigation, an exact science, is not the mystery it has been made out to be. As the author shows, all the navigator needs in the way of equipment is a relatively inexpensive sextant - specific recommendations are given - and a reasonably accurate timepiece. All the rest is in this book, which is a complete navigation system in itself. Each step in this system is clearly explained, and the book is illustrated throughout by simple yet precise line drawings and charts.</p>
