Written by a sailor for sailors, the RYA Weather
Handbook explains the complexities of weather and is full
of practical and useful advice on how to understand
weather maps and improve your forecasting skills.
Northern hemisphere edition:
"Last summer I undertook a 35 mile open sea trip with
two friends in a 22ft boat. High winds were forecast,
but no one was quite sure when they'd arrive. To
wait might cause several days delay; to go might mean an
increasingly uncomfortable trip. In the end we
sailed and all was well, but I wish I'd had this book with
me before I took that decision."
The RYA Weather Handbook has been written to complement
the RYA Day skipper and Coastal Skipper/ Yacht master
syllabus and is recommended reading for anyone taking
these courses. "It'll enable you to make more
informed decisions and it's full of practical advice on
how to understand weather maps and improve your
forecasting skill”.
Chris Tibbs has 250,000 seagoing miles under his belt,
so the book is written by an author who really knows and
understands sailing. Boat Mart remarks “It
explains the complexities of the weather using full and
colour diagrams and illustrations and it's remarkably
jargon-free."
