You want to develop or improve your navigational ability on the sea. This one day land-based British Canoeing module is designed to provide you with the tools to plan and navigate efficiently in a moderate sea environment. You'll fine -tune your ability to navigate coastal journeys (including islands up to 2 nautical miles offshore in areas of tidal movement up to up to 2 knots and winds of up to force 4). It's a theory-based course but is also highly practical, so you'll participate in a variety of practical planning exercises where you'll learn to; interpret sources of information including maps, charts, coastal pilots and tide tables, navigate on the water using visual references and simple pilotage techniques e.g. transits, dead reckoning and a compass. We'll show you how to source, interpret and apply a weather forecast to the marine environment.

We'll provide all of the practice maps and charts, compasses, line rules etc. but you may want to bring along any planning tools that you currently use - and a way of making some notes to help you remember all that you learn!
