Ever wondered what that beautiful brass instrument actually does?
This relaxed beach session is for complete beginners and curious sailors who’d like to look through a sextant and understand what celestial navigation is really about.
- Explain what a sextant measures (it’s simpler than you think)
- Show you how to hold and read it
- Find the horizon
- Take a simple sun sight
No heavy maths.
No tables.
No pressure.
Just clarity, curiosity, and a different way of seeing the sky.
You’re very welcome to drop in and give it a try and have a chat.
Parking and a café are available nearby.
