I don't see the need, other than nostalgia, for a Traverse Board on a
sailboat, unless you can't read and write. I find a pocket notebook
much more compact and useful.
Format :
To/Frm CC TC KTs Time Dist
As for a Chip Log a 4' to 8' length of 2x4 with enough small line
attached to trail 50 ft. and to tie off on the stern, plus a pair of
knots spaced 100 ft. apart. Trail the line to the first knot, count
the seconds to the second knot. Divide 60 by the seconds the result
is speed in knots. Other variations can be found in Emergency
Navigation, David Burch, 1986, International Marine Press. ISBN
0-87742-204-2.
