Modern Race Navigation. Expedition Software In Action.
Year: 2014 Language: english Author: Will Oxley Genre: Guide Publisher: William Grieve OXLEY Edition: 1st ISBN: 978-0-9924788-0-3 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 145 Description: The art of race navigation in the age of computers and navigation software is very different to even a decade ago. While a multitude of books exist on coastal and celestial navigation, very few can be found that deal with the specialist area of race navigation. This book fills that void. It is a practical, hands-on book that provides detailed instruction and tips on Race Navigation using Expedition, one of the most widely used race navigation software packages available today. Information is provided on setting up a navigation station, deck screens, instrument calibration, accessing weather information, short course racing, starting, offshore routing, tracking the opposition, sail charts, and performance analysis. Web links are provided throughout the book to allow the reader to visit the relevant web sites as they read through the book. Recommended reading and key web sites are provided at the end of the book. The book is structured so that it can be read from start to finish in a logical progression. Nonetheless, it is considered more likely that readers will be looking for advice on a specific function or feature within Expedition. For this reason the chapters also try to stand on their own where possible. PS See my other releases in the "Yachting, sailing, boating" topic: https://seatracker.info/tracker.p...id=54420#results
