Product Description

Review
"'There are all too few authors... who not only know their subject but can write well about it. Tom Cunliffe is one.' Cruising"

Product Description
The Complete Day Skipper 2nd edition is a totally practical hands-on manual that covers the RYA Day Skipper syllabus in a way that reflects a skipper's growing experience at sea, beginning with yacht handling under power and moving on to boat husbandry and sailing skills and from there to the realistic use of modern electronic navigation systems. Eminently readable and very down to earth, this highly practical, challenging book has become required reading for all skippers in their early years as well as more experienced sailors who choose not to venture far afield. Complete Day Skipper is a step-by-step learning system covering essential real-life navigation that embraces GPS wholeheartedly. 'There are all too few authors who not only know their subject but can write well about it. Tom Cunliffe is one.' Cruising

4.0 out of 5 stars A good Course Primer, 19 Oct 2004
Very well written and provides the key elements of the RYA Day Skipper course . I read it before the course and it all made sense and was a big help on my early outings in the boat. Though it is not a substitute for the course .
Unless you get a copy of the complete RYA course notes , it pulls together the course material and hence is a good point of reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Complete Day Skipper, 9 April 2008
By S. Smith (Cornwall) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found this bookto be very well written and informative, he certainly knows his stuff and whilst the book has been around for a while it is still very relevant and well worth buying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complete Day Skipper, 6 Jul 2009
By R. Rowe (N. Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I needed a book that would get me up and running with minimal faffing around with unnecessary history etc. This was it. Very easy to read and understand; good diagrams and pics and well organised.
Aimed just right so that a person with only a little experience could get going.
The writing is very positive - encouraging the sense of adventure and yet providing the right balance of caution where necessary.
An absolute must have.
