Useful tables of major ''turning points'' around the world (such as Cape Finisterre, Cape Horn and the Dover Straits), Transatlantic distances, world time zones, and time and speed conversion tables are also included.As well as incorporating general updates and improvements, this edition has been expanded to include more Indian Ocean ports, routes reflecting the increasing role of China in international shipping, as well as inter-distance tables for the Adriatic and Aegean. Freighter movements, cargo tonnage and cruise ship destinations have all been factored into considering details on the top ten busiest ports worldwide.Reeds Marine Distance Tables are an invaluable reference for ship owners, operators, brokers, navigators and superyacht skippers.

The established book of annual astro-navigation tables compiled specifically for the needs of boaters.This superbly compact almanac and sight reduction tables contains information the ocean-going sailor needs in order to navigate by the sun, moon, stars and planets, using tables devised by practical ocean navigators. This book, together with a sextant, will help sailors to navigate confidently and safely when out of the sight of land.This 2026 edition is completely up to date and continues to feature the well-received additions of the past few years, including forms to help determine True Altitude (for the sun, stars and planets), Calculated Altitude (using the versine formula) and Azimuth (using the ABC Tables), as well as a pro forma for calculating Intercept. These tables, along with clear and easy to use star ID charts, mean you can resolve any calculation you're ever going to need. There is also an introductory section on practising ashore, with helpful worked examples as an aide memoire, and plenty of space for making notes and calculations.While they should not be relied upon as anyone's sole means of navigation, being so easy to use, Reeds tables encourage active navigation and a better understanding by sailors of where they have been and where to go next rewarding in itself and essential in the event of GPS failure.
