Loran and GPS notwithstanding, there will always be a place for the sextant aboard any blue-water boat, if not for no other reason than the thrill and mystery of finding one's position on earth by gazing to the stars. Here is the indispensable reference that should accompany the instrument aboard. Commander Bruce Bauer, a professional navigator and master mariner with the U.S. Merchant Marine, has distilled years of hands-on experience into an eminently readable guide to buying, adjusting, using, and repairing sextants.
This amazing guide is dedicated to the premise that electronic navigation devices, while too convenient to disregard, are too vulnerable to rely on exclusively. The book is designed to make beginner and expert alike conversant with this most beautiful and functional of the navigator's tools. Topics include assembly, disassembly, vital adjustments, avoiding problems, rough weather sightings, oiling, cleaning, immersion baths, emergency silvering, finding, and purchasing.
You'll also find a list of distributors, manufacturers, and dealers worldwide, a discussion of future trends, and numerous helpful hints, including sighting with eyeglasses and using a Rude starfinder. All in a thoroughly revised edition of a book acclaimed by navigation professionals.
