Summary: An Introduction to Navigation
Comment: The most important thing to do with your boat is to travel safely to where you want to go. The basic tools are: parallel ruler, triangle, course plotter, and a one-armed protractor. Dividers can measure distance. A hand bearing compass for fixing points. Binoculars for distant viewing. Chart No. 1 defines the meaning of all symbols. The NOAA publishes charts for individual area. The TSD computer measures time, speed, and distance; it needs a watch with a sweep-second hand. You must have the latest edition of any chart. Charts show depths at low tide and the LORAN lines. Longitude and latitude (E-W) lines show position (coordinates). Each degree of latitude equals 60 nautical miles. West longitude is west of zero degrees (Greenwich, England). Latitude lines are equal distances apart. A compass rose on a map show s direction for a chart. The identification and sighting of three landmarks will identify position. Red marks are for starboard, green for port, and mark a channel.
Deviation is how a compass is affected by other objects (metals, magnets, etc.). Non-ferrous materials will not affect it. Variations are caused by the earth's surfaces. "Can dead men vote twice?" The film shows how a true course leads to a compass course. Deduced or dead reckoning is derived from course and speed. Speed, time, and distance are inter-related. Waypoints are places on a course line. Dead reckoning is used when there are no landmarks. Bearing lines allow fixing your position. LORAN is used to get a bearing. Single object bearings can get a position (bow and beam). Other methods are described with examples. The explain the Rules of the Road for meeting, crossing, or overtaking.
