Recenzii

Required reading for skippers whether on board or in the classroom.
Brings together all the essentials of modern cruising in one volume, and ensures that this time-tested book will continue to be the foundation for navigators, skippers and anyone undertaking coastal and offshore passages.
The absolute bible for anyone intending to go to sea in boats.
No other book explains every facet of sailing as comprehensively...any boat would be better equipped with this book aboard.
Excellent, a must for the library and winter reading.
Contains everything you need to know about the theory and practice of sailing
An ideal gift to give to the aspiring sailor to ensure the challenges ahead are properly understood.
These are new editions of well-established books essentially addressing the RYA Yachtmaster offshore qualification. Both books are beautifully produced with excellent diagrams and illustrations in full colour and seem to me to cover the syllabus comprehensively and well.
As in most Adlard Coles publications it also almost goes without saying that the presentation - text, graphics, pictures - is superb.
It guides examination candidates as authoritatively and reassuringly through the RYA syllabus as a sea pilot bringing a ship to harbour.
the standard reference for for Yachtmaster students and skippers.
An essential read for anyone contemplating making a coastal or off-shore passage.
This invaluable book teaches new skills and revises old ones, encouraging skippers to reflect on their own practice, priorities and sailing pleasure.
Full of practical tips built on hard-earned experience. you could not have a better guide.
