To properly enjoy the sea, and to do so safely, you must have the skills, knowledge and
confidence to plan thoroughly and stay one step ahead of the game.
This book is thoughtfully written to help yachtsmen do just that.
It's not another RYA Course Handbook ~ it's written by a mariner for other mariners.
It's well informed, easy to read and honest about the author's triumphs and disasters over a
lifetime’s navigating. He has a unique perspective having navigated in many parts of the world
from high up on the bridge of a warship, close to the water in a cruising yacht and at depth in a
submarine.
After his navy career he was Chief Executive of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution RNLI,
often dealing with the consequences of poor navigation. The author brings the subject to life in a book
that is designed to help yachtsmen refresh their knowledge of, and their enthusiasm for, the timeless
skills of navigation.
It is packed with hundreds of illustrations colour photographs, charts, diagrams
and tables making the text easy to understand.
