Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Code:S-Act-AirSea

Be the one who knows the way to go – at sea or by air. Learn a skill that would help you navigate your crew on your journey.

  • Choose 1 of the following options:
  • Air navigation
    • Using simple diagrams, illustrate latitude and longitude.
    • Using a compass, show how an aircraft can be turned on to various compass headings.
    • Show that you understand how a compass works, including the difference between magnetic, true and grid north.
    • Explain what magnetic deviation is and how it applies to air navigation.
    • Show that you know about the latest developments in electronic navigation aids.
    • You’ll be given three headings and corresponding tracks.
    • For each one, work out the amount of drift in degrees and the type. Show your answers by drawing a simple diagram.
    • Choose one of these to do:
      • On a topographical air map, draw a track for an imaginary flight of at least 80 nautical miles. Point out the landmarks that would show up on both sides of the track, in clear visibility, at an altitude of about 600 feet.
      • Identify landmarks on a topographical air map that you would see during a flight of about half an hour in clear weather.
    • On a topographical map, draw the track between any two places at least 100 nautical miles apart.
      • Measure the exact distance.
    • Show that you can calculate overhead flight times, using the air speed of an aircraft, and adjust your calculations for head and tail winds of different speeds.
  • Sea navigation
    • Gain a good working knowledge of charts, chart datum and symbols used.
    • Show your skills in compass work by completing all of these tasks:
      • Read a mariner’s compass marked in points and degrees and demonstrate your knowledge of compasses generally.
      • Show that you know about variation and avoiding deviation.
      • Show you’re able to correct a magnetic compass course for variation and deviation to obtain a true bearing.
      • Next, adjust a given true bearing to obtain a compass course.
      • Show how compass error can be found from a transit bearing.
    • Complete two of these tasks:
      • Show how a position can be found from two intersecting positionlines.
      • Learn what is meant by a ‘cocked hat’ position and how to use it safely. Plot a position from any three cross bearings.
      • Plot a position using the ‘running fix’ method.
      • Plot a position using a combination of compass bearings and one or more of these: satellite navigation system, vertical sextant angle, horizontal sextant angle, line of sounding or transits.
    • Learn how to use tide tables and tidal stream atlases.
    • Learn how to use the marine log to obtain distance run and speed.
    • Show you understand the buoyage system for United Kingdom coastal waters and other methods of marking dangers and channels.
    • Show that you’re aware of the latest developments in electronic technology, like the Global Positioning System and electronic charts.
    • Go on a coastal voyage of between four and six hours and act as the navigator. You should keep a log showing courses steered, distance run, navigation marks passed and weather experienced. During the voyage:
      • plot the estimated position every hour by keeping up the dead reckoning
      • at least once per hour, and whenever appropriate, plot an observed position by bearings or other means of obtaining a fix.
