The Complete Day Skipper is a totally practical
hands-on manual that covers the RYA Day Skipper syllabus
in a way that reflects a skipper's growing experience at
sea, beginning with yacht handling under power and moving
on to boat husbandry and sailing skills and from there to
the realistic use of modern electronic navigation systems.
Eminently readable and very down to earth, this fully
revised new edition has become required reading for all
skippers in their early years as well as more experienced
sailors who choose not to venture far afield. One of
Britain's best-known instructors and writers on seamanship,
Tom Cunliffe provides just the right blend of advice,
instruction, inspiration and encouragement.
