Astronomical navigation workshop

An interesting cruise / astronomical sailing workshop on board a sailingboat in Barcelona!

With the technological advances and the generalization of the GPS, practically, it is no longer practiced by anyone, although its knowledge for offshore sailing in case of electronic failure is still essential.

Therefore, we propose this type of activities within the activities of the Port Olimpic Sailing Club to our members and clients.

The astronomical navigation is very beautiful, interesting, unnecessary in these times, and fundamental in the time of our grandparents. Although from our point of view essential his mastery before adverse situations that can occur to us in a voyage.

For all this, if we learn to 'read' in the sky we can know through astronomical navigation tables in which latitude we are.
