  The Reed's Skipper's Handbook, now in its 5th edition, has been a bestseller since first publication. A handy pocket size, it is an aide-memoire of everything a boater would need to know at sea. Packed with a wide range of information in a concise form it is frequently recommended by Yachtmaster Instructors as a quick reference guide and as a revision aid for anyone taking their Day Skipper and Yachtmaster certificates.

There is an expanded section on navigating with electronics and new sections on electronic chart plotters, radar and AIS, and an expanded secion on boathandling and seamanship.
