Day Skipper for Sail and Power 3rd Edition

This book covers all the subjects in the Day Skipper theory course syllabus and a lot more besides.
Questions have been included at the end of each chapter so that you can practise your new skills, and I hope that I have achieved a balance between traditional methods and the use of electronic equipment that was not available to many of us when we skippered for the first time.
Good luck and happy learning.
