The essential reference for anyone interested in offshore sailing
and ocean passages. Following on from his bestselling The Complete
Day Skipper and The Complete Yachtmaster, yachting legend Tom
Cunliffe turns his attentions to the third strand of the RYA
syllabus. With the same hugely popular, highly practical approach,
The Complete Ocean Skipper covers everything a sailor needs to know
when planning and preparing for an offshore cruise or ocean
passage: - Preparation: types of suitable boat, choice of rig,
engine power, safety equipment, communication systems, crew
preparation - On passage: ocean weather systems, forecasting, deck
routines, watchkeeping, self-steering, emergencies, heavy weather
techniques - Ocean navigation: electronic as well as celestial The
second edition of this definitive handbook is fully updated, with
new and revised content on multihulls, autopilots, radar, anchoring
and software. The Complete Ocean Skipper goes beyond the theory of
the RYA syllabus to ensure that readers are equipped with the
knowledge of both what to do and how to go about it, in whatever
circumstances. A veteran offshore yachtsman as well as an RYA
examiner, Tom Cunliffe brings his experience to bear and packs this
must-have guide with invaluable hands-on advice for offshore and
coastal sailors alike. With clear, helpful colour photographs and
diagrams throughout, this is the essential book for anyone planning
for or dreaming about sailing further afield.
