Hi,
I am just entering the new and exciting world of Ocean sailing and using Astro Nav. Which whilst I have GPS etc I am really looking forward to getting out there and playing with a Sextant for real.
After taking my YM Ocean theory Im now in the position of having a little knowledge and no experience. Still we all have to start somewhere.
Im writting to ask if any of you seasoned sea dogs out there could explain the Compass Swinging procedure using an Azimuth. We covered it very quickly on the theory course and I don't think I truly understood.
The rest of it I cant wait to put into practise.
Many Thanks in advance for your help.
