as well as skippers of all levels of experience. In this fully revised

sixth edition, Tom Cunliffe brings together all the essentials of

modern cruising in one volume. Subjects include an analysis of what

makes a good skipper, the theory and practice of sailing, seamanship,

navigation including chart plotters and PCs, meteorology, heavy

weather, yacht stability and coping with emergencies.
