A handy, splash-proof, on-the-water aide memoire of everything the
skipper and crew need to know - or find out quickly - when
cruising: from lights, shapes and sound signals to knots, ropes and
engine troubleshooting. With diagrams and illustrations throughout,
this quick reference guide will help to keep you safe when out at
sea.
A pocket database containing everything a busy skipper needs to
know but might find hard to remember. It is easy to take for
granted how much a skipper needs to know : Navigation, how to pilot
the boat into a new harbour, using the radio, checking the engine,
keeping an eye out for things that need repair, monitoring the
weather, feeding the crew and much, much more! This pocketbook is
designed as an aide-memoire with checklists to make life easier for
busy skippers and a must-have reference for first-time skippers. It
should also prove an invaluable reference book for the RYA
Yachtmaster syllabus. The book has been helping skippers for nearly
20 years and has now been edited and thoroughly updated by
Yachtmaster Instructor and Examiner, Sara Hopkinson. (RYA and
Yachtmaster are registered trademarks of the Royal yachting
Association.)
This book is a fun compendium of sea-wisdom, sayings of the sea and

Sailing is far more fun if you understand what is going on aboard
and can give a hand. And if the weather turns nasty, or things go
wrong (which is very rare), then an extra hand can be invaluable.
This compact companion contains all the essential information that
a new crew needs before stepping aboard: what clothes to bring,
what the things on the deck are called, how to start helping with
the sails and other deckwork. There is also an important section on
safety and one on living aboard - because 'boat living' is not at
all like living ashore. Ideal for a skipper to give out to new
crew, or for a new crew to buy for themselves, to ensure that they
know what to expect and get the most out of their first sailing
experiences.
