One of my goals for this year involves getting my SailCan coastal navigation + intermediate cruising certifications. Do any of you folks have advice on resources for learning the coastal nav (phpc.social)

@sailing One of my goals for this year involves getting my SailCan coastal navigation + intermediate cruising certifications. Do any of you folks have advice on resources for learning the coastal nav stuff? I've heard that the "official" book & test is a bit of a mess. Incorrect info, incorrect *answers*. Looking for an improvement over that.

@kboyd @sailing The charter company my boat is placed with was using American Sailing (and American Boating) to certify future charter guests. They had to dump American Boating because their new courses and course materials are so bad. Instead, they created their own classes for powerboats and that's what we teach. Honestly, I think they make nearly as much money training as they do charting boats.
