The Complete Yachtmaster 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 this fully
revised seventh edition, Tom Cunliffe brings together all
the essentials of modern cruising in one volume. Subjects
include an analysis of what makes a good skipper, the
theory and practice of sailing, seamanship, navigation
including chart plotters and PCs, meteorology, heavy
weather, yacht stability and coping with emergencies. The
Complete Yachtmaster promotes each subject as an integral
part of the whole. It guides examination candidates as
authoritatively and reassuringly through the RYA 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'

radiate from the pages...thoroughly recommended' Little

their subject but can write well about it.
