Synopsis

This guide begins with an introductory chapter analyzing the make-up of a good skipper, which also explains the theory and practice of sailing. Seamanship follows, together with a navigation section, which examines the relationship between traditional and modern methods of navigation, including the new chart forms and radar. The elements of meteorology are succinctly set out, emergencies are foreseen and there is an everyday guide to the otherwise obscure science of yacht stability.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Complete Yachtmaster has been a bestseller since first publication and has established itself as the standard reference for Yachtmaster students as well as skippers of all levels of experience.

In this fully revised eighth edition, Tom Cunliffe brings together all the essentials of modern cruising in one volume. Subjects include an analysis of what makes a good skipper, the theory and practice of sailing, seamanship, navigation including chart plotters and PCs, meteorology, heavy weather, yacht stability and coping with emergencies.

Substantial updates for this edition include new material on navigation using tablets. Also includes new photography throughout.

The Complete Yachtmaster promotes each subject as an integral part of the whole. It guides examination candidates as authoritatively and reassuringly through the RYA syllabus as a sea pilot bringing a ship to harbour. Required reading for all skippers whether on board or in the classroom.
