Skipper's Cockpit Guide: Instant Facts and Practical Hints for Boaters

Very useful information at your fingertips, well organized and great for a refresher or a quick reference when needed.

I've had this for years and find it really useful. It's durable and can be used on deck to double check something or as a quick memory jog. It's also useful when showing things others etc. I'm running a trip with four boats in a few months and have just bought one each for the other skippers on the trip.

A great reminder and reference aid. Good for a quick refresher now and again in those quiet moments. Only thing I would change is the size of the print - could do with being larger but then that would probably impact on the quality of presentation of information. A must have for every Helm.

Using when sailing - there's so much to remember about rules of the road, etc, it's useful to have the info at hand when you actually need it

Just a little point but the author suggests you should be turning the rudder to port and full starboard when doing a power turn.This is not a good procedure and will confuse most beginners.yes IF you allow the boat to travel astern the rudder position will need to be reversed. the object generally in a power turn is to do it in a short distance and it's best just to let the prop wash do its job.
