OCEAN SAILING
by Tom Cunliffe

Everything you need to know in order to cross an ocean - and in only 95 pages! From celestial navigation, to weather consideration (theory, navigating around, and forecasting), to passage planning and execution. These topics should normally consume upwards of 400 pages, but Cunliffe is the most concise writer we know, and that makes this book a gem. What's more the book is more than 50% illustrated, and with some of the best photos, diagrams, and reproductions we have seen.

The celestial section is dominant, with 63 pages devoted to it, and is essentially the same as his other book, Celestial Navigation listed in this section. SC, 2000, 95 pgs. SW 0.5 lbs.
