This book provides over 700 exercises with answers covering all aspects of small-craft navigation. These are practical problems that all navigators should know how to solve. Topics include:
• Piloting • Chart reading and plotting • Voyage planning
• Dead reckoning • Compass use • Waypoint selection
• Special publications • Rules of the road • Route design
• Lights and buoys • Tides and currents • Electronic fixes
• Depth sounding navigation    
The level of the exercises is comparable to that used in the USCG 100-Ton masters exam, which in turn is about the same used in the navigation certification programs of US Sailing, ASA, CYA and RYA. These practice problems are, however, designed to be practical and instructive, not just training exercises for certification exams. This Workbook is used by several navigation schools around the country.
Selections are provided from each of these special publications along with exercises to insure their full use is mastered:
• NOAA Tide Tables • NOAA Current Tables • US Coast Pilot
• USCG Light List • USCG Notices to Mariners • NOAA Chart Catalog
The exercises that require a chart use nautical training chart No. 1210 Tr, available in print at reduced price from NOAA chart dealers and other outlets listed in the Appendix.

You can also work the chart problems with an electronic chart (Raster Navigation Chart, RNC) number 1210 Tr.  We encourage navigators to solve the chart problems with both traditional paper plotting as well as electronically, using route tools, electronic bearing lines, and range rings.

Our waterproof charts are printed on a

waterproof material using state of the art
printing technology. The waterproof
material accepts pencil markings well and
also erases well. The paper and printing process has been certified by NOAA and deemed to be suitable to withstand the
rigors of use in the marine environment.

TIP: If you plan to frame or laminate a chart using heat, then do not choose waterproof because the material can melt under heat.

These charts are not recommended for navigation.
