On a Coastal Chart, a disabled ship may be spotted say at 45 to 50 Miles off. Once her course and speed is known, a rescuing ship may set her course and speed to meet the disabled vessel. This video is about such Rendezvous on a Coastal Chart. Many of the navigational skills, which were used by our fore-mariners are being forgotten. The idea of this video in the series of ‘Navigational Skills’ is to learn and enjoy these practically. Thus, this art is also very useful in SAR situations.
