Navigation Preparations for an Advanced Coastal Cruise

Показать описание

At Maryland School of Sailing & Seamanship we prepare our cruise navigation using paper charts and reference publications to determine our optimum route, course lines, waypoints, hazards and restrictions and to educate the crew on the route to be sailed; then we plot our waypoints on the electronic chart plotter or GPS based on the paper chart plan. During the cruise, we used the paper charts, publications and electronic chart plotter to monitor and manage the cruise navigation.

I have never been responsible for navigating a vessel (or car for that matter) worth over 100k offshore or a crossing but came close when a friend wanted to take his Benni to Cuba during the Obama thaw. But when I wanted to plan it carefully and learn his boats aids first, he quickly realized we needed a lot more practice. This guide is great for developing good habits and knowledge for novices to be safer everywhere. Very complete and well-paced that is everything expected from a serious school. Nobody plans a bad day except maybe the likes of Stephen King. Thanks

Excellent tutorial. As well as a sailor I've taught flying for many years. The balance between electronics and physical charting are common, and sometimes heated, arguments, in reality, both have their place. You showed the potential for problems with overreliance on Electronics, I have also seen problems with people not using electronics/aids e.g. over 80% of air space incursions in the UK could potentially have been avoided with the use of even portable chart plotters. On boats, I've seen some skippers spending way too much time at nav stations below decks fixing points, writing up logs, Etc. rather than being in the cockpit (not necessarily at the wheel) because "I was taught this is the PROPER way to do it" . As I said there's a balance and as most electronics imitate written procedures the PROPER way is a great place to start.

I always to enjoy to see your well made video's. It's amazing how much I learned from your videos. Wondering if you are teaching also non citizens students to get them an ASA certification.

I really did enjoy that. It’s important to know how it’s done right.

Thank you for this video. Advanced navigation from a paper chart is so important. Lose your electronics and your lost... not if you took some time to learn the basics. Boy... the electronics are so nice tho🤣

When I took the USCG 200 ton master course, the paper charts were emphasized because of the failure of chartplotters and all the reasons you mentioned. My paper charts are my most critical tool and I don't need a power source. In the event of a power failure, you're not dead in the water guessing if you're on your rumb line.
