A concise and practical aide-memoire, this is all your essential sailing knowledge consolidated into handy checklists.

When you learn how to skipper a yacht the practical courses cover a whole range of activities, from passage planning to pilotage and berthing, but how can you be sure to remember the essentials weeks or years afterwards?

This book is the answer. Containing all the author's own briefing notes and concise explanations, it covers every activity a skipper will need to carry out. Using bullet points, handy checklists and simple diagrams, this book is a unique resource for all skippers - reassurance for new skippers that they haven't forgotten something vital, and a reminder for the more experienced.

These are the notes you wish you'd written when you attended your sailing course, and had to hand when revising for your exam or later refreshing your knowledge.
