I used a sextant out of a tinny as an undergraduate doing hydrographic surveys on lake Moogerah (SW of Brisbane). The state of the art back then (late 80's) was accurate to 100s of metres and with a bit of patience most of us were able to achieve this from a dinghy. I don't know if I'd want to try it on an ocean going yacht in 10m seas though.
