Octavo, blue cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, 191 pp. Very Good+, in a Very Good+ dust jacket. From dust jacket: From the moment we start thinking about sailing offshore, we're taught the sextant is a device that is not to be tampered with. This can be risky business for the ocean voyager, for celestial navigation can be only as precise as the instrument itself. Daily use, a bump, a jostle, temperature, humidity, even long periods of non-use, can throw the instrument off. And if that most catastrophic of all events occurs and the sextant is dropped, most navigators will have a real problem. The Sextant Handbook, Adjustment, Repair, Use and History tackles all those problems and much more in a simple, easily understood manner. Put in the simplest terms, The Sextant Handbook is not a book on how to navigate, but rather a book on how to make a sextant "user friendly." It is designed to not only fill the gaps about maintenance and repair left by the world's great books of navigation, but to make the beginning and expert navigator alike completely familiar with the bits and pieces and workings of the instrument, as well as comfortable and competent at keeping the device working properly. Most imporant, the book provides specific step-by-step instruction and information about: assembly and disassembly, vital adjustments, oiling and cleaning, immersion bath procedures, emergency silvering techniques, how to buy a used Sextant, where to find, how much to pay, discovering the dropped Sextant, five rules to avoid problems, reconditioning costs, making an emergency latitude hook, astigmatizers, double star prism, rough weather sighting techniques, sextant manufacturer addresses, using the Rude Star Finder.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. Loran and GPS notwithstanding, there will always be a place for the sextant aboard any blue-water boat, if for no other reason than the thrill and mystery of finding one's position on earth by gazing at the heavens. Here is the indispensable reference that should accompany the instrument aboard. Cmdr. Bruce Bauer, a professional navigator and master mariner with the U.S. Merchant Marine, has distilled years of hands-on experience into an eminently readable guide to buying, adjusting, using, and repairing sextants. The Sextant Handbook is dedicated to the premise that electronic navigation devices, while too convenient to disregard, are too vulnerable to rely on exclusively. The book is designed to make beginner and expert alike conversant with this most beautiful and functional of the navigator's tools. Put in the simplest terms, The Sextant Handbook is not a book on how to navigate, but rather a book on how to make a sextant Topics include: Assembly and Disassembly Vital Adjustments Avoiding Problems Rough Weather Sightings Oiling and Cleaning Immersion Baths Emergency Silvering Finding and Buying Used Sextants And Much More You'll also find a list of distributors, manufacturers, and dealers worldwide, a discussion of future trends, and numerous helpful hints, including sighting with eyeglasses and using a Rude starfinder.
