old codger, have you been laid since you turned 40 several decades ago? It
doesn't sound like it. If so, was she less than a size 18?

No Alain,

It's Jax who is out of compliance. He knows he is wrong and is trying to
palm off a lie on the Group.

Ole Thom

Help, kates? Well, you can go on yet another diet.

Jax admitted:almost. I grew up in Min ah SOW tah.

I'm sorry. What can we do to help?

Sorry Mensa boy. Most would consider Lunar distances as celestial,
since the moon is a celistial body ya know. Same with a sun line, star
fix ect.

Thanks Suzy,

How about:
Depth Sounder
Bottom from lead line


Bottom mavigation is indeed another way to navigate.



Sound from fog horns & bell/gong buoys.

Good one but very restrictive!

RADAR


Indeed another way to navigate!

Also, "DR" doesn't include Piloting, or using local geographic features.



I dissagree. To trianglate off distance features is DR'n IMHO.

What was the question again?

If you're listing methods of navigating, include inertial tracking. And
if Loran is on the list, then Omega should be too.

Sounds like 2 more to me.


I'm not sure if 'piloting' is a seperate method for this list, but
navigating near shore using fixed landmarks is a good method to know.

Isnt that DR?

Compass


I think a compass is used in all types of navigation, to have a compass only
would not provide you with you location.

Joe,

You left out the most often used Nav system in use;

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

Ole Thom


Yes local knowlede is another type of Navigation.

Here in the gulf we have coonass navigation as well. You just cruise
by an oil drilling rig and get the block number off the rig. Ive work
with a many of skippers that could not read and write and thats how
most navigated.

Joe

So you are saying that lifelines are required equipment for Cal 20 class
racing on the East Coast? I just want to confirm what the claim is before I
check it out.

they are required on this end of the world.

with about 5 or 6 C20s in various stages of
renovation--no lifelines on those, either.

no, "celestial" as the term is used means to use an accurate timepiece. Lunar
distances needs no timepiece at all, let alone an accurate one.
