Review

'This edition has a new design and revised text, in line with RYA course guideline, along with fresh disgrams and photgraphs.' Boat Mart (July 2007) 'Written concisely and to the point and is generously illustrated with colourful photographs and diagrams illustrating topics' Lymington Times (July 3, 2008)


Product Description

Competent Crew covers both the shorebased and the practical aspects of the RYA Competent Crew course. It will prepare newcomers for the first time afloat by explaining basic skills and boat handling including: sail trimming and sail handling; understanding the compass; sailing a course; anchoring and mooring; ropework; handling safety equipment; emergency procedures; simple collision rules; elementary meteorology. Ideal for the beginner, Competent Crew also includes a comprehensive glossary, clear explanatory diagrams and photos in full colour, the syllabus of the RYA Competent Crew course and self-testing questions and answers. It will prove invaluable for novice sailors and those embarking on this first level RYA course. This new edition benefits from a lively new design and revised text. Fresh diagrams and photographs have updated the look, and the text has been completely revised, in line with RYA course guidelines. 'This is just what the crew member needs to digest before he sets foot on board' Yachting Monthly 'Very definitely an invaluable textbook for anyone starting off' Sailing

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Coverage, Well Written, Useful., 22 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Competent Crew: An Introduction to Practical Sailing for the RYA Competent Crew Certificate (Paperback)
I bought this book to prepare for a Competent Crew practical course, and found it very useful. The Book covers the syllabus to a depth that a beginner can understand. The book is not strong on explaining the background to material covered, and does not have many lists, rather the steps in a procedure are explained in narrative. This will suit some readers, but personally I would have preferred a list-oriented approach. Close reading revealed some holes in the explanations, e.g. when preparing to abandon ship, one step is to inflate the yacht's dinghy, but at no stage is the dinghy ever used! Diagrams are clear and add to the explanations.

Excellent Book, I was able to attend my course with the knowledge of what the instructor was teaching me thanks to its contents. Easily understood and easy to follow.
