Bridge procedures. A guide for wothkeepers of large yahts under sail and power. Процедуры мостика. Руководство для владельцев больших яхт под парусами и мотором

См. также Bridge Procedure Guide. Руководство по процедурам на мостике (5-е издание)
Книга на английском языке.

This guide has been written specifically for yachts over 24 metres, but much of what has been included here applies to every yacht. All bridge watchkeepers should read this book and then, if necessary, seek clarification from their Captain over any points that remain unclear in relation to their particular vessel.
Safe navigation is the most fundamental attribute of good seamanship, and an increasingly sophisticated range of navigational aids today complement navigating officers' basic skills, which of course have accumulated over the centuries.
Sophistication, however, brings its own dangers and the need for precautionary measures to be taken against undue reliance on technology. Experience shows that properly formulated bridge procedures and the development of bridge teamwork are critical to maintaining a safe navigational watch.
