CELESTIAL NAVIGATIONFor thousands of years, celestial navigation has guided mariners across the trackless oceans of our planet. In the open seas the navigator uses the sun, moon, planets or stars to fix his position on the surface of the earth... This course is important for any serious sailor who wants more than just relying on GPS.This course is a requirement for the Ocean Yachtmaster Certificate, both with International Yachtmaster Training and Yachting Australia.However, there is more to celestial navigation than finding out a position. There is a mystical element. It involves sharing the environment surrounding us and functioning with it...Find out more here about our 3 courses to suit all levels.
