Kurzbiographie
Mary Pera made a name for herself as a sailor and a world expert on the racing rules, racing offshore regularly in multiple Fastnet races, a Bermuda Race, and a decade of racing through the Mediterranean. Her experience helped to make her Celestial Navigation for Yachtsmen the
definitive guide of its time to navigating by the stars.

Rezensionen

Arguably, in the days of GPS, sat-nav and chart plotters, a knowledge of celestial
navigation techniques is superfluous. I disagree, and this classic little book is
probably the best short introduction to astro for the otherwise non-mathematically
minded yottie.
