  • he can it i´ve got one sextant but well done

  • rs

    

  • His great grandfather was navigator on the RMS TITANIC.

  • this dude does'nt know what the hell hes doing.

  • He's holding it sideways because he's checking for sextant side error prior to taking his sight-- vital to do it every time with a plastic sextant -- and that's a Davis Mk 15 or 25. Right out of the pamphlet Davis ships with it.

  • @phadil then your an idiot too.try using a compass to get a reverse bearing nimrod.

  • @johnhar271 i did sometimes using it sideways when i try to find an angle between two landmarks and calculate my position from it. it's easier then using sun and the horizon.

  • What a widget! If I cought my navigator trying to take a reading holding a sextant sideways......I'd put his ass over board!
