Stressfrei Navigieren

Compass, Map, GPS: Learn to Navigate, Deepen Your Knowledge. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced navigator, whether in a dinghy or a sailing yacht, catamaran or motorboat: safe navigation requires knowledge and practice. It's great when the onboard library includes a compact manual with all the essential information for navigation and trip planning!

Author Duncan Wells, an instructor with the Royal Yachting Association and owner of a sailing school, has now written such a manual following his two bestsellers "Stress-Free Sailing" and "Stress-Free Motorboating." In his guide, he imparts the necessary knowledge for a stress-free trip: determining position and navigation using nautical charts, compass, and GPS, as well as visual navigation. Practical knowledge for water sports enthusiasts on weather and tide studies. Information on trip planning, anchoring, navigational marks, safety at sea, collision avoidance rules, and more.

Exam Preparation: With this book, you can pass the standard navigation exams for all boating licenses worldwide. Navigation is about arriving safely nonetheless. For many sailors and motorboat operators, the idea of navigation and trips combined with stress-free sailing sounds like an impossible paradox. However, if you approach the complicated calculations in the same way as the experienced skipper Duncan Wells, navigation at sea becomes a fascinating discipline that encompasses oceanography, geometry, meteorology, and astronomy, as well as psychology in crew management.

His training concept has proven effective: with easily understandable lessons, he brings the practice of navigation closer to his sailing students and readers. Learning is supported by illustrative diagrams and clear tables, step-by-step photos, and QR codes that link to explanatory videos. This makes it easy for every sailor and motorboater to learn navigation and refresh existing nautical knowledge.
