The Complete Yachtmaster has been a bestseller since first publication
and has established itself as the standard reference for Yachtmaster
students as well as skippers of all levels of experience.
In this fully revised and up-to-date 10th edition, Tom Cunliffe brings
together all the essentials of modern cruising in one volume. He
presents an analysis of a good skipper, the theory and practice of
sailing and sail trim, the art of seamanship, accurate navigation
including chart plotters and PCs, understanding meteorology, heavy
weather preparation, understanding yacht stability and coping with
emergencies.

The Complete Yachtmaster* builds knowledge as it builds sailing
confidence, guiding examination candidates as authoritatively and
reassuringly through the RYA syllabus as a sea pilot bringing a ship
safely to harbour. Required reading for all skippers and budding
skippers, both on board or in the classroom.
