pilotage

\Pi"lot*age\, n. [Cf. F. pilotage.] 1. The pilot's skill or knowledge, as of
coasts, rocks, bars, and channels

tr.v. pi·lot·ed, pi·lot·ing, pi·lots

1. To serve as the pilot of.
2. To steer or control the course of.

"piloting" means control of, steering if you will.

"pilotage" means navigation by landmarks.

Only a landlubber would use a "dictionary" definition for a nautical term. It
figures that all of jaxie's nautical knowlege is from Webster's.

The rest of us, however, use a proper reference, such as Bowditch.

From the 1962 edition:
"Piloting (or pilotage) is navigation involving frequent or continuous
determination of position or a line of position relative to geographic
points, to a high order of accuracy. It is practiced in the vicinity of
land, dangers, aids to navigation, etc. and requires good judgment and
almost constant attention and alertness on the part of the navigator."

jeffies, "piloting" means the steering of the craft, while "pilotage" means the
navigation of the craft by use of landmarks.

google to your heart's content but that is the reality of the situation, IF
*you* were to ever in your lifetime talk to someone who has done both.

jeffies? are you trying again to prove to the world how limited you are in
native candle power?

Google? I just pull a copy of Bowditch off the rack. (You didn't notice I used
the '62 edition, not the online 2002 edition.) You're the one who cites his
online Webster every other post.

Speaking of piloting, have you figured out yet which light you were looking for
at Hatteras when you wanted to turn back? Three GPS's and a clear night, and
you couldn't find your way! And you still can't tell us where you were? What
a Putz!

sounds like jeffies be miffed that I repeated the thought that catamarans are
the fake tits of the sailing world. All hard edges and sharp corner, overly
large for the sake of being overly large, without additional function but with
reduced sensitivity.

Sounds like Jaxass doesn't know what "Bowditch" is.

You're just insanely jealous that I have a boat that's faster, bigger, and
better made than anything you'll ever own.

Its also pretty clear you've never sailed on a cat, or you'd realize that
they're a lot more seaworthy than you think.

I now own, and have owned for well more than a decade, a boat longer and more
seaworthy than yours. It is narrower, though, for I am not afraid my boat
might tip over if I sail out near the edge of the Earth.

Its also pretty clear you've never sailed on a cat, or you'd realize that
they're a lot more seaworthy than you think.

I sailed one offshore last weekend. catamarans don't like quartering seas.
lots of space, though. hard to dock in a cross wind. a bit jerky of motion in
cross seas.
