It’s likely that most of us have all this information already – or we know we ought to have it. This latest edition of Reeds Skipper’s Handbook has been fully revised by Andy du Port. There are no concessions on the need to be properly equipped with paper charts and remain on top of the techniques for traditional navigation. In fact, du Port goes further in recommending that navigators ensure they have a sextant on board and are confident using it.
This pocket-sized volume provides handy ready reference for when memory goes blank at the Coll Regs, rising and dipping lights or International Distress codes and you don’t want to be leafing through a hefty Almanac in the cockpit.
