With weather conditions continually evolving, skippers need to
factor forecast data into every passage plan and be prepared to
modify it if the situation changes. This spiral-bound instant
reference guide will help you draw the most relevant weather
information from a variety of sources, understand and apply broader
forecast data to your location and your anticipated route, and know
when and how to make those necessary alterations. In clear,
practical language, and with diagrams, photographs, explanations
and bulleted lists, the book is also a useful primer or overview
for RYA Coastal Skipper and Yachtmaster Offshore students by
following the contents of the course: - Basic terms / the Beaufort
Scale - Air masses - Cloud types - Weather patterns associated with
pressure and frontal systems - Sources of weather information -
Interpret a shipping forecast, weatherfax and weather satellite
information - Land and sea breezes - Sea fog - Use of a barometer
as a forecasting aid As a reference before sailing, a reminder of
what is available for use before going to sea, and a guide to what
to look out for and use when sailing, this practical handbook is
aimed at skippers and crew of all levels, whether on day cruises or
longer ocean-going passages. Spiral bound to lie flat and printed
on splashproof paper, it is the ideal hands-on weather-focused
passage planning guide, but with lots of tips for use on board it
is the essential aide-memoire to have on the boat.
