Fishing News Books 1986. Soft cover, 181 pp.
This book, written by the former head of a navigation school, is
intended as a primer to help all inshore and coastal fishermen gain a
better understanding of the principles of navigation. This is still an
essential skill in spite of the increased use of electronic aids in
modern fishing boats. The text sets out the elementary requirements simply
and clearly, aided by many illustrations, dealing not only with
navigation, but also with chart work, pilotage and ship stability. This
new edition adds electronic navigation and has been revised to cover
instruction on navigation in both hemispheres.
