“This 15-day course covers every aspect of traditional navigation. Subjects include: charts and chart work, compass correction, plotting and position lines, tides and currents, logbooks and voyage planning. It also covers the theory of the earth’s magnetism and the application of variation and deviation to courses and bearings and general gyro and autopilot operating procedures.”
Ok….This class was intense. I would say this could have easily been a 5 week course. I was lucky in that I had already taken the US Sailing Coastal Navigation course. So, I had a leg up. Even still, I had to study everyday to feel comfortable with all that was crammed into 3 weeks.
