Pass Your Day Skipper by David Fairhall
Pass Your Day Skipper teaches sailing and boat-handling theory in a practical seagoing manner, with helpful tips to help smooth your test-taking or sail-handling anxiety. Find out how the wind makes your boat move, or how to find your way using nautical charts. You will also understand the rules that govern sea-going vessels, learn all the crazy, nautical lingo, as well as the basic rope and knot work to keep you secure. Pass Your Day Skipper has taught thousands of UK students what they needed to pass their Day Skipper exam. You can use it to learn all you need to know to safely operate and handle your coastal sailboat. Mike Peyton's best-loved cartoons help keep the atmosphere fun.
