Being from THE Yachting Centre of the World, if you are from the UK I would suggest a course from the RYA (Royal Yachting Association) - I believe they do one. Other than that, I would suggest looking at Amazon for a book on the subject.

Hi all,
As part of my Sit-X prep, I ahve decided I should learn celestial navigation by sextant. My ´escape´ will be by sea whan it comes to it, and my guess is we will not be able to access navigation (GPS) satellites.
Can anyone please point me in the direction of a downloadable ebook on how to use a sextant? Or otherwise maybe send me one?
Thanks!

So Maybe U2U doc and see if he can help us I will keep looking. I seem to remember that doc had a thread or post on using a sextant but I may be wrong.
The principles of a sextant are easy to master but its use requires some skill and practice. Small errors make for large discrepancies in one's position.
