Coastal Cruising Handbook

Designed to convey accurate, useful information to the yachtsman in the most convenient form: visually. The 160 pages contain some 500 simple diagrams which provide a quick, instantly recognisable answer to the questions most likely to crop up in the course of a coastal passage. Subjects covered include weather forecasts (British and European waters), tide calculations, boat and rig nomenclature, knots, seamanship and manoeuvres under sail and power, anchoring and mooring, towing, collision avoidance, and the elements of coastal navigation.
