"Joe" wrote in message m... Jeff, Lanod has told us a hundred times now that any yachtmaster can navigate blindly without any input. Of course all onshore yachtmaster including lanod can see thru thick fog without radar. Joe, Can you give us a rough definition of the word "navigate"? Who controls a boat's course through the water? The navigator, the helmsman, or the skipper? Regards Donal -- |

Who controls a boat's course through the water? The navigator, the helmsman, or the skipper? Gee Lanod.........on my boat thats all the same person. Does it take 3 yachtmasters to navigate a boat?

Who controls a boat's course through the water? The navigator, the helmsman, or the skipper? Gee Lanod.........on my boat thats all the same person. That is exactly what I thought! Try to imagine a boat where the examiner is sitting in the cockpit, along with the helmsman. Now imagine that the navigator is down below, with his charts. The ports (windows) are covered. Why can the navigator not do some navigation? Regards Donal -- |
