Book excerpt: Whether out for an afternoon's sail or embarking on a long offshore passage, there is always an element of chance and uncertainty about being at sea. To be responsible for the wellbeing of both crew and vessel, a good skipper needs to know their limitations and ensure they are operating well within the margins of safety. Safe Skipper is a practical and thought provoking guide for yacht skippers of all levels of experience, full of invaluable advice and tips on how to reduce to the minimum the risks of mishaps and equipment failure at sea. There's a wide range of information on seamanship, preparation, seaworthiness, gear, boat handling, leadership, teamwork, watch keeping, communications, navigation, weather and emergency procedures, all delivered in a highly practical, lively, non-preachy fashion. Included throughout are useful checklists, box-outs and case studies of accidents and their causes, with survivors' testimonials and explanations of how disasters were avoided, or could have been, all of which provides valuable lessons for everyone who goes to sea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it was first published The Complete Yachtmaster proved immediately popular with a wide range of readers, from skippers and crew to Yachtmaster students, bringing together as it does all the essentials of modern cruising within one volume. Although the boat-handling and seamanship sections of this book have required only minor alterations, other areas of the book have evolved to keep in line with the revolution in navigation. Tom Cunliffe is not only an examiner of RYA Yachtmaster Instructors; he is very much an active sailor who runs up a heavy annual mileage in his own cruising yacht. This combination has enabled him to communicate the ever-advancing potential of electronic navigation techniques better than most. In this fourth edition of what has become a standard work, he shows the modern skipper how to use today's exciting equipment to refine a philosophy of navigation which has not changed since the beginning of seafaring. Throughout the book Tom Cunliffe never lets the reader forget that no single skill can be divorced from the wide range of knowledge that makes up the armoury of the complete Yachtmaster. The latest edition of The Complete Yachtmaster is required reading for anyone skippering a yacht. For examination candidates, whether on board or in the classroom, it guides the reader as authoritatively and reassuringly through the syllabus as a sea pilot bringing a ship to harbour. Book jacket.
