Yachtmaster for Sail and Power by Alison Noice

Yachtmaster for Sail and Power is a major reference book which has proved invaluable for the many sailors following the RYA Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster Offshore course. Right up to date with new developments, it includes all the elements of the revised Yachtmaster course: * Chartwork - including useful worked examples * Electronic navigation - how to use the latest technology for safe navigation: radar, electronic chart plotting and GPS * Pilotage - buoyage fully explained and illustrated * Communications - information on current maritime communications including GMDSS * Weather - the elements of meteorology, weather sources and forecasts * Safety and survival - all the new SOLAS regulations detailed * Stability and buoyancy - the principles simply explained. With its refreshingly practical approach, no one enrolling for the RYA Yachtmaster course whether for sail or power can afford to be without this lively, helpful study guide to compliment the course and assist with exam preparation.

'a comprehensive guide..extremely user friendly and Noice's text is very clear, concise and well thought out.' Sailing Today (October 2010) 'Useful advice...comprehensive coverage...should make this publication popular with anyone studying for this RYA qualification.' Nautical Magazine (October 2010) 'It covers all one would expect...and the combined package is one a would-be yachtmaster ought not to be without.' Sailing Magazine (January 2011) "These are new editions of well-established books essentially addressing the RYA Yachtmaster offshore qualification. Both books are beautifully produced with excellent diagrams and illustrations in full colour and seem to me to cover the syllabus comprehensively and well." The Little Ship (Spring 2011)
