The complete ocean skipper

Ouvrage en langue anglaise.

Following on from his bestselling  The Complete day Skipper  and  The Complete Yachtmaster , yachting legend Tom Cunliffe turns his attentions to the third strand of the RYA syl'abus. With the same hugely popular, highly practical'approach,  The Complete Ocean Skipper  covers everything a yachtsman needs to know when planning an offshore cruise or ocean passage.

All'aspects of planning and preparing for ? as well'as setting out on ? a long-distance cruise are featured:

• Preparation : types of suitable boat, choice of rig, engine power, safety equ'pment, communication systems, crew preparation
• On passage : ocean weather systems, forecasting, d'ck routines, watchkeeping, self-steering, emergencies, heavy weather techniques
• Ocean navigation : electronic as well'as celestial

A unique and définitive handbook,  The Complete Ocean Skipper  goes beyond the theory of the RYA syl'abus to ensure that readers are equ'pped with the knowledge of both what to de and how to go about it, in whatever circumstances. A veteran offshore yachtsman as well'as an RYA examiner, Tom Cunliffe brings his experience to bear and packs this must-have guide with inval'able hands-on advice for offshore and coastal s'ilors alike.

With cl'ar, helpful colour photographs and d'agrams throughout, this is the essential book for anyone planning for or d'eaming about s'iling further afield.
