5 out of 5 stars Excellent book for twin engined motor boaters   March 24, 2003
 12 out of 12 found this review helpful

Overall this is an excellent book for people about to embark on the Day Skipper practical course. It gives clear and consise guidance and tips and allows the new skipper to think about his priorities. It has to be said that the book is of less use (but certainly not useless) to those with single engined boats.


5 out of 5 stars An excellent preparation for the RYA Day Skipper course   August 22, 2001
 12 out of 12 found this review helpful

This book is well written and logically ordered. The authors have clearly given a lot of thought to the demands of handling a motor cruiser, particularly if you are new to the area.

I have gained a lot of practical knowledge from it and often use it for reference, especially when I have friends who are new to motor cruising on board.

It is designed for inboard engines, as is the RYA course it is clearly designed to accompany.


2 out of 5 stars Suitable if you have a boat with 2 propellers   July 30, 2001
 12 out of 15 found this review helpful

The book is well written and gives relevant information about seamanship. However sections like advanced motoring techniques or procedures for leaving a berth and arrival are valid for boats with 2 propellers and if you have a boat with one propeller (i.e. an outboard engine), it doesn't help at all. Therefore I'm disappointed with what I get out of it.
