Publisher's Note
In this handy little book George Reid describes the numerous causes of compass error: variation, deviation, misalignment, lazy compass, frozen compass, and intermittent deviation. Beginning with the absolute basics of magnetism, he then discusses how to apply compass error to find your true course and how to measure error by taking bearings inland and offshore. For celestial bearings Capt. Reid has designed two "quick and easy" tools: a Compass Corrector for bearings on the sun and a Skyclock for bearings on Polaris. In conjunction with appendices on the sun's declination and amplitude, the tools will help point you in the right direction. Capt. Reid also provides step by step instructions on how to swing ship, set up deviation tables, and adjust compasses. This is an indispensable reference for every sailor, regardless of size or type of vessel.

In this handy little book, George Reid describes the numerous causes of compass error: variation, deviation, misalignment, lazy compass, frozen compass, and intermittent deviation.
