A pocket database containing everything a busy skipper needs to know but
might find hard to remember. It is easy to take for granted how much a
skipper needs to know: Navigation, how to pilot the boat into a new
harbour, using the radio, checking the engine, keeping an eye out for
things that need repair, monitoring the weather, feeding the crew and
much, much more! This pocketbook is designed as an aide-memoire with
checklists to make life easier for busy skippers and a must-have
reference for first-time skippers. It should also prove an invaluable
reference book for the RYA Yachtmaster syllabus. The book has been
helping skippers for nearly 20 years and has now been edited and
thoroughly updated by Yachtmaster Instructor and Examiner, Sara
Hopkinson. (RYA and Yachtmaster are registered trademarks of the Royal
