IAP - Celestial Navigation

Thu 01-Feb-201818:30-20:30

Description

This is the last session of the IAP Offshore Sailing Shore School. 

All sessions will be held Tue and Thurs from 6:30 - 8:30 PM in 66-144. No registration is required - just come!

Before there was GPS, there were the stars. In this session we will go through the theory and practice of celestial navigation; we hope to have enough sextants to allow for hands-on activities. While you will not walk away from this class knowing how to navigate by the stars, you will know why and how it works, and what to do next if you want to learn celestial navigation in detail.
