  The Complete Day Skipper 2nd edition is a totally practical hands-on manual that covers the RYA Day Skipper syllabus in a way that reflects a skipper's growing experience at sea, beginning with yacht handling under power and moving on to boat husbandry and sailing skills and from there to the realistic use of modern electronic navigation systems. Eminently readable and very down to earth, this highly practical, challenging book has become required reading for all skippers in their early years as well as more experienced sailors who choose not to venture far afield. Complete Day Skipper is a step-by-step learning system covering essential real-life navigation that embraces GPS wholeheartedly. 'There are all too few authors who not only know their subject but can write well about it. Tom Cunliffe is one.' Cruising
