Product Description
From the Publisher
As co-authors of the Yachtmaster and Dayskipper test papers, Chris Slade and Sara Hopkinson have compiled an invaluable selection of practice exercises with answers.
All the vital aspects of seamanship are included; from estimated positions and tide tables to meteorology and maydays. Using full colour illustrations, the book follows the newly revised Yachtmaster syllabus and includes recent developments in electronic chart plotting and GPS.
Starting off with relatively simple questions, ideal for those new to boating, while the later exercises provide a useful challenge for the more experienced. Everything you need to help you answer the questions can be found within the book, including two RYA training charts. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The exercises are excellent for either preparation prior to going on a RYA Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster Theory course or for revision after the course. Two practice charts and all necessary almanac information are included. The exercises start off being easy and gradually become more difficult as you progress. Anyone working through this book should have thorough knowledge of the theory necessary to safely navigate at sea and should have no trouble passing the Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster Theory Course.

It is 9 years since I did my Yachtmaster Coastal Theory and this is perfect for testing my state of revision and actively revising by going through the exercises.

You must have this book if you are studying navigation. Very good book to review the Yachtmaster Syllabus and useful if you are preparing for your OOW oral exam too (for the Navigation part of the exam only). This edition has not the same exercises of the old edition. So it isn't just a graphic upgrade. The only thing I didn't really like was that the charts scenario for this edition is a completely fiction. In the previous edition everything was based on the Solent Area. In this edition you have the space to do calculation and write your answer which is good. (not in the previous edition). My personal advise is to buy both editions, you will have far more exercises to test yourself/study.

Got me through my Shorebased Day Skip & Yachtmaster. I'm a bit slow so need the extra practice!
why do I have to write more just to fill the min words quotient?

RYA Navigation Exercises by Chris Slade
Proved to be excellent preparation prior to going on a RYA Day Skipper course with the exercises getting progressively more difficult and more like real life sailing.
