This manual is specifically designed to help students understand the concepts of Celestial Navigation and the logic behind each step. Through clear graphics and numerous examples, it demonstrates the simple calculations required, which are basic additions or subtractions of angles and times, as well as straight interpolations.

The exercises at the end of each chapters, and the 50 pages of review exercises in Chapter 18, will facilitate student practice at home. The manual is designed to help navigators prepare for the official tests by Sail Canada, The Royal Yachting Association, and the American Sailing Association, in class or by home study. In addition, the YouTube channel contains videos supporting the course material.
