Course books and practice charts — for studying nautical science in boating

In the Course Books and Practice Charts product group you will find the learning material needed for boaters' training and exams: Boaters' Seamanship I (Archipelago Navigation, 15th edition) and II (Coastal Navigation, 9th edition), the practice sea charts Carta Marina and Carta Navigationis, and the guide to the glories of practice sea charts. Unlike real sea charts intended for navigation (see our product group Port Books for real trip planning), practice charts are designed specifically for studying and exam practice in a safe, controlled environment.

The Sailor's Marine Science series systematically goes through the basics of navigation, from simple archipelago pilotage to more demanding coastal navigation, and the books serve as good self-study material and supplementary reading alongside a boating course. Carta Marina and Carta Navigationis are established, widely used practice charts that are used both in course teaching and in preparation for exams all over Finland.

The Guide to Lighthouses on Practice Nautical Charts supplements the use of charts by providing guidance on identifying and interpreting lighthouses and other navigational light signals — a key skill, especially in dark navigation, where correct lighthouse identification can be crucial for safe passage.

These materials are suitable for both those preparing for a basic boating course and more experienced boaters who want to refresh or deepen their navigation skills — always get the latest edition, as the content and examination requirements of nautical courses are updated from time to time.

The biggest advantage of practice maps is that they allow you to safely practice positioning and route planning tasks without the risks of real navigation — the same map base is repeated in several different courses and exams, so familiarizing yourself with it in advance on your own time gives you a significant advantage in the actual exam situation. We recommend combining written material with practical training whenever possible, as mere theory without practical map work often remains superficial.

We recommend combining written material with practical training whenever possible, as mere theory without practical map work often remains superficial. Store practice maps protected from moisture in connection with other boating libraries so that they remain usable for several courses or refresher courses. This way, the material remains usable year after year without unnecessary wear or fading.
