About the Book

A practical, hands-on manual covering the entire Day Skipper syllabus in a step-by-step learning system designed to get you straight on the water.

As one of Britain's best-known instructors and writers on seamanship, Tom Cunliffe understands the concerns and anxieties of first-time skippers better than most. In this 7th edition of this highly successful manual, he provides the perfect blend of advice, instruction, inspiration and encouragement to support their growing experience at sea.

Taking the RYA syllabus as a framework, The Complete Day Skipper begins with yacht handling under power, moves on to boat husbandry and sailing skills, then goes on to explore navigation, from steering clear of trouble near home to the practical use of modern electronic navigation systems. Key features include:

- An at-sea, hands-on approach infused with helpful tips and common sense
- A step-by-step learning system designed to get you straight on to the water
- Essential, real-life navigation that wholeheartedly embraces GPS
- Cunliffe's unique emphasis on fuss-free cruising

This 7th edition features updated and expanded sections on navigation, weather forecasting, sails and electronic chart plotters, along with new photographs. Easy to read and down to earth, The Complete Day Skipper is a friendly hand on the shoulder for both novice skippers and more experienced sailors who choose not to venture far afield.


About the Author: Tom Cunliffe has become a household name as a sailor, TV presenter and Yachtmaster Instructor Examiner. Years of teaching offshore at the National Sailing Centre have given him a remarkable knack for explaining how skippering can be low-stress, safe and, above all, fun. Cruising remains Tom Cunliffe's passion. He currently owns a classic 44-foot cutter, and has sailed his yachts with friends and family from the Caribbean to Russia and from Brazil to the Arctic. When not sailing or working, he grows roses and rides a large motorcycle. His website is www.tomcunliffe.com
