Davis Quick Reference Coastwise Piloting Card

The Davis Quick Reference Coastwise Piloting Card is an essential navigation tool for boaters operating in coastal waters and inland passages. Whether you're running a center console, cruising a trawler, or piloting a sailboat, this quick-reference card distills critical piloting knowledge into an immediately accessible format. Designed for those moments when you need answers fast—rule applications, visual bearings, or tide corrections—this card keeps essential coastwise navigation protocols within arm's reach at the helm.

Manufactured by Davis Instruments, a trusted name in marine navigation for decades, the card features a durable laminated format that withstands salt spray, sun exposure, and routine handling on deck. At a verified weight of 0.2 lbs, the card is large enough to read at a glance yet compact enough to stow in a chart pocket, instrument panel sleeve, or tackle box. The reference covers proven piloting techniques, abbreviations, and conversions that apply whether you're using traditional coastal piloting methods or integrating GPS and electronic chart display with older charting practices.

This card is ideal for recreational boaters preparing for coastal cruising, ASA or Coast Guard certification study, or anyone refreshing navigational procedures before departing on extended passages. Professional mariners and commercial operators also use quick-reference cards to ensure standardization and efficiency in navigation. With its practical design, the Davis Quick Reference Coastwise Piloting Card is a must-have for anyone serious about safe and effective boating.
