Description
This book has been a bestseller since first publication and has established itself as the standard reference for Yachtmaster students as well as skippers of all levels of experience
In the fifth edition, Tom Cunliffe brings together all the essentials of modern cruising in one volume
Subjects include: analysis of a good skipper the theory and practice of sailing seamanship navigation, including plotters and personal computers, meteorology, heavy weather and stability plus coping with emergencies
The book promotes each subject as an integral part of the whole. It guides examination candidates as authoritatively and reassuringly through the Royal Yachting Association syllabus as a sea pilot bringing a ship to harbour. Required reading for all skippers whether on board or in the classroom
'A gem, distilled from decades of experience' - Yachting Monthly
