Reeds Superyacht Manual/Руководство суперяхты

Издание на английском языке
The insistent call of the sea draws on our natural curiosity and fascination with the unknown. It can lead to an adventure of considerable complexity; those that answer the call need knowledge and guidance to do it successfully. Some of the knowledge is better absorbed before departure – hence this book.
Brought together here in one manual is all that’s required, starting from the basics. Mariners are curious by nature, and always want to know more at whatever level they operate; so this book is as much for those who might sail a small boat across the bay, as is it is for those who will skipper a large yacht across an ocean.
Yachting has grown dramatically over the last few decades, both in vessel numbers and size, accompanied by an inevitable increase in crew numbers. Legislation has evolved to cover the large yacht sector at levels akin to those in the merchant marine. High standards now apply to the construction, equipment and maintenance of large yachts, as well as their manning and crew qualifications.
For these professional seafarers this manual contains the knowledge required to become Officer of the Watch (Yacht <3000GT) from scratch. It covers the syllabus for all the course modules required at each stage, including STCW basic training and Yachtmaster. It gives a useful understanding of the operation and manning of large yachts, and the legislation concerning them, as well as providing a single reference for the essentials of navigation. The career path, with the required associated courses and requirements, is shown on pages 367–8.
