Yachtmaster for Sail and Power (5th edition)

Alison Noice & Roger Seymour

Adlard Coles

£25

In five years since the previous edition, certain electronic aids to safety and navigation, which might then have felt extravagant, have become almost mainstream. AIS is the most obvious example. Roger Seymour has incorporated these developments seamlessly in his update of the late Alison Noice’s companion to the RYA Coastal Skipper / Yachtmaster Offshore course. The clarity of the overall approach remains unchanged, There are revision checks at the end of each chapter but for those not preparing for an exam, small details such as the potentially lethal qualities of a flying baked bean tin in a blow, or advice to store a pair of gardening gloves in the flare box may remain longest in the memory.
