This is the perfect reference for anyone using a powerboat whether
you are just starting or need a refresher. The primary themes
throughout the book are safety and fun with regular checklists at
every stage. The book starts before you even get on the water with
fully illustrated descriptions of types of boat, engine and trailer
along with key advice about how to get the right combination for
your needs - of course the black art of reversing a trailer and not
getting a boot full of water are covered. Once you are on the
water, there are hints and exercises to develop boat handling
before moving on to how to handle the boat at speed and what to do
when you have to stop at a jetty, buoy or with an anchor.
An introduction to navigation and tides will enable the
powerboater to travel securely whilst prompting an interest in
developing their navigation skills. Critical safety issues such as
Man Overboard, travelling at night and First Aid are covered in
considerable detail and with clear photographs, as is guidance on
keeping your boat in good condition.
The book contains over 300 photographs and illustration and we
recommend it for all RYA Powerboating courses from Level 1 to
Advanced.
