This brand new title is designed to complement both the
RYA Sea Survival Course and the ISAF Offshore Course.
This book is ideal and essential for anyone taking to the
seas, whether on a motor or sailing vessel, and gives
in-depth advice and information on safety at sea.
RYA Sea Survival Handbook will teach you all you need to
know about preparing to go to sea, emergency procedures,
safety equipment, life-saving signals, handling heavy
weather and choosing the most suitable life jacket or
buoyancy aid.
Providing the most up to date information on all the above
items, this book is written by Keith Colwell, (RNLI
Divisional sea safety officer) and is impeccably
illustrated by Steve Lucas.
This comprehensive and well illustrated guide takes you
step by step through all aspects of sea safety, from
kitting your boat out, right through to correct procedures
for abandoning ship.
The text is enlivened by a number of fascinating real life
examples of boaters dealing with emergency situations.
"The RYA currently produces the best laid-out and
illustrated instructional books of any of the nautical
publishers, and this manual is no exception. Recommended."
