GPS for Mariners, 2nd edition
GPS for Mariners, 2nd edition - Book
INT443
The operator's manual that should come with every boater's GPS receiver or chart plotter. Since the first edition of GPS for Mariners, GPS has achieved almost universal acceptance. No one needs to be told in detail how the system works or why it is reliable anymore. Boaters today accept GPS as the ultimate navigation tool—they just want to know how to use it. The second edition of GPS for Mariners has much less GPS tech-talk and theory and more instead on getting the most out of today’s more advanced and powerful units. First edition sold more than 35,000 copies. Contains brand-new content on the features and capabilities of...

Essential Boat Electrics: Carry out electrical jobs on board properly & safely - Book
FER127
Electricity is vital on board most boats: to keep their systems running and to provide the crew with the services they expect. Much of it will be professionally fitted and many yachtsmen will have little knowledge about the finer detail of electric circuits. But, given the importance of electrical power, some understanding of it is likely to be useful: either to use when required away from the marina or to repair and upgrade your systems. This book is written to provide that understanding and to allow you to undertake electrical jobs on board yourself, properly and safely. It removes the mystique of boat electrics and gives you the...

GPS Backup with a Mark 3 Sextant: All Instructions and Tables Included
GPS Backup with a Mark 3 Sextant: All Instructions and Tables Included - Book
STR049
Our guiding principle for this booklet was to provide a means of learning and executing a position fix at sea when a vessel has run out of power and all the batteries have been consumed, so there is no GPS available. We wanted a solution that is compact and inexpensive, using tables and procedures that are easy to learn and use. This goal led to our proposing a minimum kit that mariners would not hesitate to add to their gear to cover the unlikely situation it would actually be needed. Mariners who cross oceans in small boats realize they must be self-reliant and cover all contingencies. For those who do not have the chance to...
