Summary

This is an aide-memoir of things that a skipper of a yacht or motor boat need to know and may find hard to remember. It contains information in notes form on the collision regulations, weather, chartwork, seamanship, navigation, flags and much more. Many have found the book a useful revision aid for the Yachtmaster and Day Skipper courses. This second edition is fully revised and updated.
