Course Description:

This is a big one. Used for hundreds of years as a primary means of navigation. Even in our modern age, once you understand C-nav you will question why anyone would ever go to sea without knowing it. In the beginning it can be very challenging and somewhat abstract. Fortunately we have approximately twenty years of very successful teaching experience with this subject. Mariners should come to class with a strong understanding of terrestrial navigation so that valuable time is not lost relearning those skills.
