Format:Paperback
I am familiar with the author who is well known on the south coast for his vast experience. I am a fairly experienced Yachtmaster and was given this book as a gift. I don't ever suggest that I know it all, but was initially skeptical that there would be many I didn't know. In actual fact this is a cracking little read with helpful hints for all levels. It is not really a reference guide in as much as 200 snippets of wisdom from one of the worlds best sailors. Recommended reading before a holiday or just to keep on the boat for those longer sails!

I have bought this booklet because of the author (T. Cunnlife) and its conciseness. I know most such tip's collections are disappointing. However this one really is useful, strongly rooted in practice, oriented to what we feel is important but had not thought before, and very easy to read and understand. Very good value for money. I decided to read a couple during my subway commuting and unfortunately did it all in one-week. I'm now re-reading most of them and trying them as well.

An excellent buffet of useful advice; great for dipping-in whenever you have an odd moment. Most sailors will already know some of the tips, but few will know all.
