Celestial navigation
is an integral part of the class and John Connolly will give
you a simple and precise way to do "Noon Sites" so
you can find a fix at least once per day. You have to get the
Celestial Navigation certification before the OPM certification
is awarded. This can be done after the OPM has been taken.
This class gives the sailor the knowledge and confidence to
go start cruising on his own. Topics include daily system inspections,
plotting rumb lines on a mercator chart, shipboard routines
on an extended voyage, emergency situations the cruiser might
encounter, and celestial navigation to name a few.

Students will get exposure to very specialized cruising equipment.
John Connolly has taught this course many times overseas and is very familiar
with this particular trip. He has taught more OPM's than virtually any other
instructor in the country. Pre req.'s include ASA 101, 103, 104, 105,
106. Check calendar
for dates.
