Section 1
Getting Started
This section introduces you to the subject of finding your
way safely along a coastline. It begins with some of the fundamental
principles of navigation and describes how important marine publications
and certain tools are used by navigators. The objective is to
explain these core items clearly and in sufficient detail for
you to be comfortable with them, and to know how to put them
to use on your boat.
It should take about an hour to read this section and another few minutes to answer the Test Yourself questions at the end. Section 1 covers performance objectives 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of Sail Canada's Basic Coastal Navigation Standard. |
