A practical, hands-on manual covering the entire Day Skipper
syllabus in a step-by-step learning system designed to get you
straight on the water. As one of Britain’s best-known instructors
and writers on seamanship, Tom Cunliffe understands the concerns
and anxieties of first-time skippers better than most. In this 7th
edition of his highly successful manual, he provides the perfect
blend of advice, instruction, inspiration and encouragement to
support their growing experience at sea. Taking the RYA syllabus as
a framework, The Complete Day Skipper begins with yacht handling
under power, moves on to boat husbandry and sailing skills, then
goes on to explore navigation, from steering clear of trouble near
home to the practical use of modern electronic navigation systems.

helpful tips and common sense - A step-by-step learning system
designed to get you straight on to the water - Essential, real-life
navigation that wholeheartedly embraces GPS - Cunliffe’s unique
emphasis on fuss-free cruising This 7th edition features updated
and expanded sections on navigation, weather forecasting, sails and
electronic chart plotters, along with new photographs. Easy to read
and down to earth, The Complete Day Skipper is a friendly hand on
the shoulder for both novice skippers and more experienced sailors
who choose not to venture far afield.
