A pocket database containing everything a busy skipper or their crew needs to know but might find hard to remember from navigation, seamanship and the weather to engine troubleshooting, safety and emergencies (and loads more in between). It is also an ideal reference for students of navigation and seamanship courses.
A pocket database containing everything a busy skipper or their crew needs to know but might find hard to remember.It is easy to take for granted how much a skipper needs to know: Navigation, how to pilot the boat into a new harbour, using the radio, checking the engine, keeping an eye out for things that need repair, monitoring the weather, feeding the crew and much, much more!This pocketbook is designed as an aide-memoire with checklists to make life easier for busy skippers and a must-have reference for first-time skippers. It should also prove an invaluable reference book for the RYA Yachtmaster and other RYA course syllabi.The book has been helping skippers for over 25 years and has been edited and thoroughly updated by Yachtmaster Instructor and Examiner, Sara Hopkinson.
