Издание на английском языке
Over 12,000 people, most with absolutely no sailing experience, successfully complete a RYA Competent Crew course every year.
The courses are run by over 220 RYA Training Centres around the UK and overseas. Using a RYA recognised centre will ensure that you are taught to the RYA's high standards, and your course will be safe, informative and enjoyable.
This book Competent Crew has been written using the cumulative ¦ experience of hundreds of experienced sailing instructors.
The techniques shown/described are tried and tested and are suitable for most types of cruising yacht. I hope that you enjoy the book and find it useful. Good sailing!
