Publisher Description: Most yachts and motor boats now use GPS as their primary source of positional information when navigating. The page layout of this logbook has been designed for clear entry of GPS positions and waypoints. The left-hand spread is for passage planning and the right-hand spread is for plotting positions on passage. There is also space to include narrative and separate pages for pilotage, harbour, anchorage and other notes, plus a section to use as a visitors' book and / or to record crew changes. The size of the book makes it ideal for use on small chart tables, without completely covering the chart that also needs to be referred to. This second edition reintroduces the silver blocking on the front cover, giving the Logbook a stylish feel and making it the ideal place in which to record those precious journeys undertaken in your yacht. |
