This book provides over 500 exercises with answers covering all aspects of small-craft navigation. These are practical problems that all navigators should know how to solve. Topics include: Piloting, Chart reading and plotting, Voyage planning, Dead reckoning, Compass use, Waypoint selection, Special publications, Rules of the road, Route design, Lights and buoys, Tides and currents, Electronic fixes, Depth sounding navigation The level of the exercises is comparable to that used in the USCG 100-Ton masters exam, which in turn is about the same used in the navigation certification programs of US Sailing, ASA, CYA and RYA. These practice problems are, however, designed to be practical and instructive, not just training exercises for certification exams. This Workbook is used by several navigation schools around the country. Selections are provided from each of these special publications along with exercises to insure their full use is mastered: NOAA Tide Tables, NOAA Current Tables, US Coast Pilot, USCG Light List, USCG Notices to Mariners, NOAA Chart Catalog The exercises that require a chart use nautical training chart No. 18465 Tr, available in print at reduced price from NOAA chart dealers and other outlets listed in the Appendix. You can also work the chart problems with an electronic chart (Raster Navigation Chart, RNC) number 18465 Tr. This custom echart is available as a download from www.starpath.com/18465tr. The echart can be viewed by any of several free echart viewer programs. Sources for free echart viewers and guidelines for their use are included in the Appendix. You can also use any full echart navigation program of your choice. We encourage navigators to solve the chart problems with both traditional paper plotting as well as electronically, using route tools, electronic bearing lines, and range rings.

Build your own aluminum casting foundry. Cast bicycle shift levers or whatever else you have in mind. Learn to melt and cast scrap aluminum for profit or just for fun. While much of this book discusses the Bike Shift Lever project (read more at OneStreet.org under Programs, One Street Components), readers will learn how to cast just about anything using scrap aluminum and make a profit doing so. In addition to casting, the book also offers guidance on product marketing and sales. Starting with foundry and casting basics, readers learn how to build an inexpensive charcoal-fired furnace using a flowerpot or fired-clay bricks. An entire chapter is dedicated to sorting and melting scrap aluminum so that readers will always have an ample supply of quality metal for casting. The book wraps up with product marketing and sales, using Bike Shift Levers as the example, but showing how any cast aluminum product can be profitably produced in a backyard foundry. In the back of the book, readers will find: . a detailed table of aluminum alloys to help them sort their scrap, . the design drawings for the Bike Shift Lever. For readers interested in making Bike Shift Levers, they will learn how to become one of our license partners and receive a permanent casting mold that will hold up to many, many castings. License partners are critical to this project as we work to provide affordable, durable, and repairable shift levers to people worldwide who rely on their bicycles everyday. We also offer our license partners ongoing support for foundry solutions, marketing in their area, and bulk purchases of foundry and shift lever supplies. Backyard Aluminum Casting is for anyone who wants to try casting scrap aluminum into Bike Shift Levers or just about anything else that can be made out of aluminum.

114 pages, 88 illustrations, size 8.25 x 11 inches. In 1968 Floyd Clymer began using the Indian trademark on a series of 50cc minibikes that were manufactured under a partnership arrangement with Italjet, a motorcycle manufacturer based in Italy. Unfortunately, Floyd's untimely death in January 1970 ended his attempt to revive the Indian marque and as a result this publication is probably the rarest of all the Floyd Clymer Publications. It is rare for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that his involvement with the Italjet Indian minibikes was still in the fledgling stage at the time of his death. In addition, as Floyd had only imported a small number of these 50cc minibikes there was little justification in printing large quantities of this 'dealer only' publication. This illustrated parts list is a valuable reference for any Ponybike, Boy Racer and Papoose minibike owner and a 'must have' resource for any Clymer, Italjet, Indian minibike enthusiast. The exploded diagrams in the parts list would be a critical part of any restoration project and the addition of a selection of photographs, reviews and data sheets for the various models from Clymer's original sales literature makes for easy identification of original construction details. Out-of-print and unavailable for many years this truly scarce publication is almost impossible to find on the secondary market and we are pleased to be able to offer this reproduction as a service to all Clymer, Italjet, Indian minibike owners and enthusiasts worldwide.

Que vous soyez en sécurité sur votre bateau ou dérivant sur un radeau de sauvetage, David Burch vous montre comment trouver votre route quels que soient les instruments de navigation à votre disposition. En s'appuyant souvent sur des objets courants tels qu'un petit bâton, un morceau de doublure ou même une paire de lunettes de soleil, allant des techniques des anciens Polynésiens aux traînées de condensation des avions de ligne, David Burch vous explique comment utiliser tous les moyens disponibles pour calculer vitesse, direction, latitude et longitude ainsi que pratiquer tous les aspects du pilotage et de la navigation à l'estime.
