This is an invaluable aide-memoire containing everything the busy skipper finds hard to remember; an essential reference guide for both before your cruise and whilst onboard.
From navigation, rule of the road and seamanship to engine troubleshooting, safety and emergencies (and loads more in between) this really is a must-have book for both first-time skippers and those with years of experience.
Not only will it help you to deal with emergencies, it also shows you how to prevent things from going wrong in the first place, allowing you many happy hours afloat.
