The Electronic Yachtmaster is shot at sea aboard my traditional gaff cutter, and the way plotters, radar and the rest fit in to the classic environment should say it all. Surrounded by century-old timber, Ive integrated electronics with salty, time-honoured techniques to help you shape up with confidence if your boats wiring ever melts down. To help you get the most from a plotter, Ive illuminated the whole development of electronic navigation, from the basic GPS fix, through split-screen plotters to radar and on-board PCs. There are sections on waypoints, routes, fog and even tides, The result is a stress-free navigational philosophy that appeals across the world of RYA courses and beyond, to experienced sailor.
