A comprehensive hands-on manual that covers the Yachtmaster syllabus and brings together all the essentials of modern cruising in one volume.

A bestseller since its first publication, The Complete Yachtmaster has become the standard reference for Yachtmaster students as well as skippers of all levels of experience.

In this fully revised and up-to-date 11th edition, Tom Cunliffe presents an analysis of a good skipper, the theory and practice of sailing and sail trim, the art of seamanship, accurate navigation including chart plotters and PCs, understanding meteorology, heavy weather preparation, understanding yacht stability and coping with emergencies. The Complete Yachtmaster builds knowledge as it builds sailing confidence, guiding examination candidates as authoritatively and reassuringly through the RYA syllabus as a sea pilot bringing a ship safely to harbour.

Easy to read and down to earth, this new 11th edition has updated and expanded sections on boat handling, knots, paper and electronic charts, chart plotters, laser flares, universal VHF, mobile phones and important developments in electronic navigation.

Required reading for all skippers and budding skippers, both on board or in the classroom.
