This book is still the reccommended text for the American Sailing Association celnav course. It isn't my favorite by a long shot, but if I were in your business, I'd be a little slower about discontinuing it. -----Original Message----- From: Ken GebhartSent: Jan 31, 2005 7:58 PM To: NAVIGATION-L@LISTSERV.WEBKAHUNA.COM Subject: Re: "A Star To Steer Her BY"???? Joe, Thank you for the "heads-up". This book has had a good following over a number of years, but we have not carefully analyzed it as you have. it's error is one which I frequently caution beginners to beware of. We will phase it out of our catalog. Ken Gebhart/ Celestaire Dave Weilacher .IBM AS400 RPG contract programmer .USCG Master lic. 100 ton .ASA Sailing Instructor Evaluator
