Jeff Toghill presents both traditional skills — including the use of the sextant, chart plotting, and dead reckoning — alongside contemporary GPS and satellite-based technologies, ensuring that sailors at every level of experience gain a thorough and practical understanding of their craft. Written in a clear, authoritative, and accessible tone, the text instructs readers on how to apply these methods in real-world conditions at sea, making it an invaluable resource for both coastal cruisers and offshore passage-makers. Toghill's approach argues that a well-rounded navigator must command both old and new tools, as over-reliance on any single system can prove dangerous in demanding conditions. The result is a definitive guide that illustrates how the art and science of navigation have evolved, while affirming that seamanship fundamentals remain as vital as ever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887935860955,"sku":"2026200007986-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/434a7379-42dd-4eb7-bc95-3a80fd5a2de8.png?v=1781750007","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007986-secondhand-modern-yacht-navigation-from-sextants-to-satellites","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
