“In this excellent textbook Tom Cunliffe guides you through all aspects of seamanship … Exceptionally well designed, with masses of helpful colour illustrations, it is a treasure chest of practical advice. Don’t sail without it.”
Yachting Monthly, March 2007
“A comprehensive and practical guide to all aspects of seamanship, and comes in hardback form, so can take plenty of knocks. It is part of the RYA Yachtmaster series, and is essential reading for anyone taking RYA Day Skipper or Yachtmaster… All subjects are well illustrated, and the accompanying copy is made easy to read with simple ‘recipes’ for how to carry out the manoeuvres or skills described.
“The wealth of colour illustrations helps draw the reader in, and it is easy to dip in and out, picking the topics you need, rather than trying to plough through all at once.
“As well as showing you how to do things right, there are also very useful sections on what to do when things go wrong, with a good chapter on emergencies… The book has plenty to offer to both cruising and racing yachtsmen, and to both newcomers and experienced hands.”
