Samenvatting:

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
sixth 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.
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.
