Product Description
The Complete Day Skipper 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 fully revised new edition has become required reading for all skippers in their early years as well as more experienced sailors who choose not to venture far afield. One of Britain's best-known instructors and writers on seamanship, Tom Cunliffe provides just the right blend of advice, instruction, inspiration and encouragement.

Format:Hardcover
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.

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.
