The Skipper's Pocketbook

“A handy reference guide, a fantastic aide-memoire.” (Sailing) “Whether you’re putting to sea in your own boat for the first time or have years of experience, this is a handy reference guide to ship in your pocket or keep on board.” (Sailing Today) “This lighter volume can save time. It has checklists, troubleshooting guides and useful illustrated aide-memoires.” (Practical Boat Owner) “The Skipper’s Pocketbook shoehorns generous coverage of many topics into a small volume… all in an easy to understand, concise fashion, and the use of many full colour diagrams help the reader quickly absorb the points.” (Yachting Life) “It contains all of the useful lights, sounds and shapes, as well as instructions to work out tidal heights, position fixing, course to steer, etc. There is also some really useful general information on meteorology, seamanship, knots and basic maintenance. In short… the next best thing to having an instructor onboard. Even if you are not undertaking a course, The Skipper’s Pocketbook, even in this digital age, is a must for anyone new to boating or looking to refresh their theoretical skills.” (Motorboat Owner)
