Notă biografică

David Fairhall has enjoyed sailing for more than half a century in everything from Dragons to Thames barges. He has raced offshore, including skippering a boat in the Fastnet Race, and made transatlantic ocean deliveries. He sails from Maldon on the East Coast, where he lives. Mike Peyton was the world's best known nautical cartoonist. He wrote several books, illustrated many more, and produced thousands of cartoons for yachting magazines.Peter Rodgers has sailed his own cruising boats for many years, and has done three Fastnet Races, two as navigator. He passed his Yachtmaster Offshore before electronics took over the chart table, but has a keen interest in the benefits and limitations of the latest navigation technology.

Recenzii

It is a slim book, but the size belies the amount of information within its covers. It is a 'cram course' - but it overlooks nothing, and is laid out to make studying or revising easier.
You might buy this book earlier in your yachting career than the title suggests, sometime between Competent Crew and Day Skipper Practical. It would become an old friend and take you to Yachtmaster and beyond. The book will make a good revision text as well as handy reference in more seasoned skippers' lockers.
