An Essential Pocket Companion for Sail and Power

Now in its eighth edition, this compact handbook covers the core knowledge every skipper and crew member needs afloat, including navigation by both traditional and electronic methods, tides, collision regulations, safety procedures, radio communications, weather, anchoring, sail handling and basic ropework, along with a section on inland waterways.

Written by Andy Du Port and Malcolm Pearson, it is widely used as a revision guide by those studying for Day Skipper and Yachtmaster qualifications, and is said to be carried on board by more than a hundred thousand boat owners worldwide.

Its small format makes it easy to keep on the chart table or in a kit bag for quick reference at sea, whether under sail or power.
