You'll be ok, you will just become a broadsheet.

Beneteau First 456 Whats the catch?

Its not the £5k, its what it costs thereafter to fix it.

Like was wrong button. A fix, like any other positioning method, does not stand alone, no one would depend upon a single input of information, but it with the other information you have, is an additional confirmation. However, your fix does indicate where any danger lurks, so if you want to...

No, sail away from the hazard, until you are at a safe distance from the danger, then re-assess situation. Surely even you will have kept a log of previous progress & have some EP, so know roughly where you are, you already have a chart, otherwise you couldn't plot your cocked hat, rather than...

Really, why?

The RYA courses, have always taught that your assumed position if a cocked hat, is nearest to the hazard, it isn't a novel concept. PS, the RYA handbook, if read properly, explains everything, no additional books are needed, however some people think their 'cartoon' format is somehow beneath them.

Don't they need batteries for that, seems a bit catch22.
