1.0 out of 5 stars Simply awful - so badly written, 6 Sep 2001
By A Customer
I can't believe this was the recommended text for the weather section of my Yacht Master theory course. On first glance it looks good, it gives the impression that it's a real beginner's guide that explains the basics clearly with colour diagrams etc. But, it's so dreadfully written. I was so frustrated with the style and learnt nothing from it.

I'm not the only one - on finding it on a friend's yacht I asked him what he thought ... "awful, no help whatsoever" he concurred.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Introduction to a Complex Subject, 19 Oct 2005
By A Customer
In this widely used coursebook, the author has condensed what the aspiring Yachtmaster needs to know about weather into a slim volume packed with colour diagrams. But it takes effort to master the material because the mechanisms causing the weather are complex.

I recommend the book to anyone wanting to gain a yachting qualification.

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid!
This book almost seems to set out to complicate and confuse. It is far from user friendly. It was on the reading list for my RYA coastal skipper/yachtmaster courses, but no one... Read more
