Collisions are expensive! Learning, understanding and remembering
the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea
(COLREGs) is essential for anyone venturing onto the water. Leisure
boaters, as much as professional mariners, need to know the rules,
and a firm understanding is required to pass many nautical exams.
But with the COLREGs stretching to over 12,000 words, this is no
small task. This is where Paul Boissier's excellent book comes in.
Paul knows the COLREGs backwards having used them extensively in
his career with the Royal Navy - from the bridges of submarines and
warships which he has commanded, with each giving a rather
different perspective on other shipping! He also knows the other
side well with his extensive cruising experience, from his early
years with his father to now, sailing his own yacht. These
experiences mean that he knows and understands the COLREGs from
both sides and this gives him the ability to take you through the
COLREGs from a mariners' and sailors' perspective. He brings the
vital, but dry, document to life, going through it not in order,
but by topics which are relevant to the mariner and sailor. Paul
explains the intention of each rule and how it should be applied
when at sea. He includes personal anecdotes (not all favourable to
him!) which make everything real and tells us how he remembers
different aspects of the Regulations through mnemonics and other
devices. Finally, each chapter ends with a self-test to reinforce
what has been learnt - other tests are also available online on the
Fernhurst Books' website. This new edition has been updated with
the 2016 changes to the CLOREGS. Whether you want to increase your
confidence, pass an exam, require an on-board reference, or wish to
improve your understanding of the nautical rules of the road, this
is the ideal book for you.
