Abstract

The article provides essential guidance for sailing without modern electronics, emphasizing the importance of traditional navigation skills and tools. It suggests maintaining a detailed log, using paper charts and pilot books, and relying on hand-bearing compasses and dead reckoning as key backup methods. It covers celestial navigation techniques, the use of very high frequency (VHF) radios for communication, and the value of preparation and practice for handling electronic failures at sea.
