We offer a series of seminars related to Navigation. Each session targets a specific
area. You will find a short "teaching page", review questions, answers to
these questions.
These sessions constitute a very basic introduction to Navigation. For further study,
we recommend courses through such organizations as the United States Power
Squadrons and the US Coast Guard Auxiliary.
Seminar sessions will be added on a regular basis. Only the
underlined links are active, but the entire table of contents is
available on this page for you to see.
You will need a 1210 Tr Chart,
parallel rules or a rolling plotter,
dividers and a pencil for some of the sessions.
