Paperback edition. ISBN: 9781898660613.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTom Cunliffe has crossed many oceans. If blue water cruising is your game, this is the book for you. Part 1 covers celestial navigation - fixing your position by sextant. This is an interesting and elegant method of knowing where you are - and may save your life some day. Even in this electronic age, it is a skill every skipper should possess. Part 2 looks at the worlds weather systems and how to use them to your advantage. Hurricanes and typhoons are analysed - with the emphasis on avoiding them! But if a trade wind squall strikes or an approaching hurricane looks like slipping by your strategic defences, Cunliffe is on hand with remedial advice. Part 3 explains what you actually do out at sea. It covers gathering information, making plans, what to take, how to run watch systems, and the delight of making long passages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44959818514485,"sku":"ByrdShop_1898660611","price":90.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781898660613_5060903b-e48f-4685-a07e-deae6651c436.jpg?v=1778897299","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/ocean-sailing-9781898660613","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
