BESSER NAVIGIEREN / Sven M. Rutter

THE practical handbook for navigation on seagoing yachts.

Sven M. Rutter has incorporated many valuable tips from his numerous specialist articles on the subject of navigation into this book. He provides beginners with the necessary basic knowledge for safe navigation at sea as well as experienced yacht skippers with valuable information for the selection and use of modern navigation systems.

A clear structure and comprehensible language make it easy to use - a comprehensive glossary allows targeted reference. Every issue is explained in a comprehensible manner. No prior knowledge is required.

Over the years, BESSER NAVIGIEREN has established itself as the standard work for navigation on seagoing yachts. Whether for exam preparation, for refreshing/updating existing knowledge, as a guide to well thought-out navigation equipment for your own yacht or as a reference book for practical use; whether on smaller coastal tours or on extended ocean cruises; whether classically with a course triangle and compass or with a chart plotter/navigation software/app, AIS and radar system - this book can be a helpful companion for many nautical miles.

The book covers the complete navigation exam material for the Sportbootführerschein See (SBF See), Sportküstenschifferschein (SKS) and Sportseeschifferschein (SSS).

The current edition also incorporates innovations and further developments in the field of electronic navigation, radar technology and AIS. Additional information and further practical tips have also been added.

The reading sample - see further down on this page under "Downloads & Information" - gives a good first impression.
