The Complete Day Skipper:
Skippering with Confidence Right from the Start (Hardback) By (author) Tom Cunliffe
Short Description for The Complete Day Skipper
A practical, hands-on manual for skippers at the outset of their careers. It offers step-by-step coaching designed to build the reader's knowledge and confidence, and covers the entire RYA Day Skipper syllabus. It can be used as a companion to Tom Cunliffe's The Complete Yachtmaster

Tom Cunliffe's The Complete Yachtmaster:
Since its first publication, The Complete Yachtmaster has achieved unparalleled success in the UK and has established itself as the standard reference for students of sail and skippers of all levels of experience.

Bringing together all the essentials of modern cruising in one volume, it is the highly respected first and last word on the subject from a vastly experienced and popular Yachtmaster examiner.

Now more comprehensive than ever, this completely updated fourth edition is required reading for anyone skippering a yacht. This text-led, illustrated work reflects my years as an RYA instructor. It is written for the thinking skipper, encouraging self-help and seamanlike solutions rather than being dogmatic about the only way.

The book makes clear that the elements of successful skippering are intertwined and not a series of tidy boxes of information. Action in any department will affect what happens in others, so in order to sail the seas without incident it is necessary not only to deal with individual minutiae, but also to maintain a broad overview. This will include everything from the state of the tide, through sail trim, weather and pilotage, to noticing that the designated cook is feeling seasick.
