Have you dreamed of sailing in a tropical paradise but found the idea of navigating reefs and channels just too intimidating? Ever wondered how you would you navigate unfamiliar waters if your GPS failed? Take our 2-day Navigation Seminar and learn the essentials of navigating without a GPS and gain the confidence you need to sail in domestic waters, tropical destinations and just about anywhere in between.

 

Learn how to:

• Read a chart and understand the corresponding symbols

• Find a location using latitude and longitude

• Find the distance between points

• Find the True Compass heading and convert it to the Per Steering Compass using magnetic north and the deviation of your vessel

• Convert Speed, Time and Distance to be able to calculate all three while at sea

• Find a cross bearing fix and your exact location on a chart without a GPS

• Understand the COLREGS and their meaning and how they apply to safety 

• Understanding "Right of Way"

• Interpret different light schemes for different vessels to help determine various scenarios

• Identify and use the safety equipment that should be on board your vessel
