4.0 out of 5 stars A clear and usefull reference book for would be Day Skippers, 3 Dec 2001
By hpfrs@hotmail.com (Manchester,uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Day Skipper (Hardcover)
Having signed up for the RYA Dayskippers course (evening class-28weeks) I felt i needed a much more thorough guide book than that supplied with the RYA course material and this book was highly recommended by the course tutor,himself an RYA/DOT Ocean Yachmaster.

The book covers all aspects of the course clearly and comprehensively. It is easy to followand understand and has plenty of illustrations and examples to help the student. There are also sample questions at the end of each chapter along with the answers at the back of the book. A good buy.

This review is from: Day Skipper (Hardcover)
Have just done the course, and this book was the best by a distance. It has all the detail you need and tough exercises that make the actual exam seem easy!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the best book, 4 Nov 2005
By A Customer
I cannot agree with the two previous reviewers. I found this book a dissapointment. It is just a complete rush through all the important subjects with very poor explainations. It is very badly written, and the constant need to keep refering from the text to "extracts" at the back pages is frustrating. The book is padded out with a large Glossary of words than any sailor should well know by this stage of their education.
The worked examples are impossible to properly follow without having to hand the proper actual charts that they refer to.
The "exam" questions and "answers", are a usefull indication of the knowledge required for this subject, but will appeal, I feel, to those who think that knowledge of a few answers will make them sailors, without a true understanding of the subjects.
If you are serious about understanding the subject, for the safety at sea of yourself and others, I suggest there must be better books than this one you could aquire
