Complete Yachtmaster

Sailing, Seamanship and Navigation for the Modern Yacht Skipper

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 the fifth edition, Tom Cunliffe brings together all the essentials of modern cruising in one volume.

Subjects include:
analysis of a good skipper
the theory and practice of sailing
seamanship
navigation, including plotters and PCs
meteorology
heavy weather and stability
coping with emergencies

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.
