Critics Review
Supremely clear and easy to navigate, and one of the best features are the checklists, to stop you forgetting something important that you last might have heard in a classroom decades ago.
Provides developing skippers with a comprehensive practical guide to underpin their understanding, written in a concise and easy-to-read style, all from a hands-on perspective by an acknowledged author… We would have loved to have a copy of this book when we were training for our RYA assessments. It is thoroughly recommended for those who are preparing for RYA Day Skipper and Coastal Skipper qualifications and a great book to have on the bookshelf as a reminder for seasoned sailors too.
