In time when GPS is giving 99 % of all positions - it is a historic joke when US - shows how to handel a Sextant. To handel a sextant is the 1 st step to going messuring the Sun, Moon, Stars. To get a Position, when you can - do it by mathematiks and tabels.
I use the Sextant only for Joke - "to check the GPS" - Data !
It is so inconsequent to use an Sextant - and using Nav. Programms by computer -
But when you get your first postion by HO 234, HO 249 or Semiverus rules and logarithems, your are proude to have a position better than 3 miles - when you are good - you need for HO 249 - so aböud 5 Minutes.

Terri, the first boat was a day sailor I put on a lake in N.J. It was 90 degrees out and no wind or clouds ,after floating for a few hours I questioned my sanity because I thought this was supposed to be FUN.Instead I baked.Now of course,I can t get enought of it and live on my boat most of the season& love it.

You're a brave one on the buy a boat- learn to sail. Agree on always something to learn with sailing. Funny thing is, as an antique dealer I had a sextant about 8 years ago that I bought in a box lot. Sold it before I really got bitten by the sailing bug..geesh..trying to tell myself probably only a replica for show so I won't feel so bad. Who knew!!?? Just got done transfering old pictures to new albums when son was a baby ..first vacation..Jamestown, RI.. Lots of pictures of sailboats sailing in Narrangansett Bay..never a thought back then I even be on a boat let alone own one and sail in those same waters....my how things can change in not so long a time...glad they did :-) .

I always wanted to learn even to the point of buying one first,I guess no different than how I got starting in sailing, buy a boat then learn to sail. One thing about sailing there is always something to learn,it is a life long process!

Agree, I didn't have clue as to how they work..at least have an idea now. Would like to learn how to use this summer.
