About the Author
Bo Streiffert is a Swedish yachtsman with 50 years varied sailing experience including time spent in the Royal Swedish Navy as a navigation officer on torpedo boats. It was while he was an instructor on training ships, when still in his 20s, that he came up with the idea of the Skipper's Cockpit Guide and produced the first outline in a booklet which he used to teach the young people on his courses.

Very compact,well illustrated, contains a lot of information on 'memory intensive' data,eg. signals, ship recognition by lights. Should provide a handy reference in respect of this.
Some other subjects covered provide basic learning material for non competant crew and may provide valuable revision for a experienced skipper.

A good guide, for use on land or when passage planning before setting sail. However it goes into too much detail and the text is too small to be an aide memoir for use in the yachts cockpit whilst at sea.

Excellent guide. You would not believe the amount of information that is presented concisely and clearly in so few pages. Great for reference, and excellent for budding day skippers and comp crew to browse through whilst lounging in the saloon.

good try
This "guide" is a very good idea.
But I agree with M.North: too much detail in too small prints.
I would also add that it is not really splash proof as advertised. Read more
