New Crew's Companion

“It’s small, concise and surprisingly good at packing useful information into a tiny space.” (Yachting Monthly)“It would make a great welcome-on-board gift for skippers to give to new crew. It teaches them terminology and skills, but also takes a no-nonsense approach to extremely important matters - like crew asking if a skipper would like them to contribute to the boat’s kitty. Very handy for nautical novices.” (Sailing Today)“These slimline, flip-over ‘learn-to-sail’ type books are priceless in my view; and this second edition of ‘New Crew’s Companion’ tops the bargain list once more… all the essentials are there for the new crew to make their lives easier aboard.” (Sailing Magazine)
