Illustrations will be line drawing to help the reader understand what they are doing and why they are doing it. Calculations included are: * Distance to the visual horizon and the radar horizon * Distance off by vertical sextant angle, horizontal sextant angle, bearings and eho ranging * Calculating course made good, course to steer, set and drift of current and speed and direction of true wind * Sailing to weather and Storm avoidance * Calculating speed through water for estimate time on passage, distance sailed, maximum hull speed for a displacement vessel and spacing of knots on log line * Calculating amplitudes and azimuths of sun and stars. * Calculating wave height, wave length, wave period * Measuring degrees converting degrees, minute and seconds to degrees and decimals of degree * Measuring length Converting imperial units to metric and metric to imperial * Measuring mass Converting imperial units to metric and metric to imperial * Measuring speed Converting imperial units to metric and metric to imperial * Measuring Volume Converting imperial units to metric and metric to imperial.
