5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent training aid for anyone taking RYA courses., 5 Feb 2002
By clive_mason@breathemail.net (Farnborough, England.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Seaman's Guide to the Rule of the Road (Seamans guide) (Paperback)
This is probably the most comprehensive book written as a guide to learning the rules of the road. The layout is very easy to follow, the reader can study at their own pace, and you seem to learn the subect with little effort.

The claim that the Navy allow 6 hours to work through the book. I think the average seaman would require much longer.

This book should be on every sailor's book shelf, and is an ideal present for any seamen you know.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly recommended by Royal Navy, 15 April 2006
By William Lyons (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This little book is the benchmark for all Seaman Officers in the Royal Navy and my dog eared copy is never far away. Clear, concise and utterly thorough the novice and the expert will find this book useful for learning and re-learning.

5.0 out of 5 stars a practical approach to colregs, 2 Sep 2006
By D. myatt (Ladysmith, B.C.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Seaman's Guide to the Rule of the Road (Seamans guide) (Paperback)
There are 2 ways to learn Colregs. One is the rule and the reasons for the rule, light shape etc. - rather a classic intellectual approach to learning a body of work in its context. The other is a practical approach of repetition and natural progression groupinging similar topics.
This book uses the latter. With concentrated effort I was able to master all the previously difficult lights and shapes. I particularly liked the organization which does not simply follow the stucture of the Colregs, but still has a good cross reference for when you want to check what the rule actually says.
Essential for learning Colregs in a 'bootstrap' manner. Essential for RYA courses.
