A practical guide to cruising that is great as a coaching guide, as well as being an effective tool for sailing exam preparation.

This book covers the practical syllabus a student skipper needs if they are to pass advanced sailing exams. It is also designed to be kept on board as a coaching guide covering common situations that may trip up even the most experienced yacht skipper. It covers the practical side of yacht cruising: how to be a better skipper, berth the yacht, handle her under sail, recover a man overboard, navigate and carry out safe and efficient passages. Illustrated with charts and diagrams, and including revision and test sections, this is perfect both as an on-board reference and to be used as exam preparation.

Richard Crooks came to sailing late, but tries to make up for lost time. He has served as navigator and trimmer on a number of racing boats. After a career in the City of London, he led flotillas in Greece and has worked as a RYA Yachtmaster Instructor.
