Celestial and
Coastal Navigation

The highly rated Celestial Navigation course book,
and companion Celestial Navigation Exercises book,

are excellent instructional tools, ideal for Celestial Navigation Instructors and Schools, as well as for self-study. They have grown out of all the courses given by Dominique Prinet, a certified Instructor-Evaluator for Sail Canada, who taught Celestial and Coastal Navigation from 2000 to 2015.

The 6th Edition Coastal Navigation course book, for class and home study,
as well as its companion book, Coastal Navigation Exercises,

both updated to cover the new Sail Canada Standards, were put together from the notes prepared for private & professional pilots, as well as boaters, and professional mariners.

This website also offers a variety of free helpful resources for both instructors and students, available for download. These include supporting PowerPoint presentations for instructors, for both Celestial and Coastal Navigation classes, as well as work forms for students in Celestial Navigation and a free downloadable version of the Celestial Navigation Exercise book, for which the required data tables are in the course book. There are also free YouTube courses to support the material presented in the books.
