Introduction to Pilotage

Pilotage is being able to navigate safely into and out of a harbour/anchorage/port knowing where you are at all times, where your hazards are and a safe route in/out. This is particularly useful if you are heading into somewhere new or a challenging/busy area – or both!

Knowledge and experience of some simple pilotage techniques could open up where you can go boating.

Do you know your transits from your clearing bearings? How do you use a contour line to guide you into somewhere?
