The Complete Day Skipper By Tom Cunliffe
If you are a newcomer to sailing, this book gives you clear and concise guidance. The Complete Day Skipper - now in its fully-revised third edition - by Tom Cunliffe, an RYA Yachtmaster Examiner and regular contributor to YM, is a practical, hands-on manual covering the RYA syllabus.
The book starts with yacht handling under power and takes you step-by-step through looking after your boat to sailing skills and a basic use of electronic navigation systems.
It is peppered throughout with simple diagrams and photographss as well as excellent nuggets of experience. As Tom says of the RYA Day Skipper Course: 'Watching comparitive novices transform into decision-making sailors within a week gives enormous job satisfaction to instructors'.
Verdict: A blend of advice, instruction, inspiration and encouragement.
