'Required reading for skippers whether on board or in the classroom.' Yachting Life (October 2010) 'brings together all the essentials of modern cruising in one volume, and ensures that this time-tested book will continue to be the foundation for navigators, skippers and anyone undertaking coastal and offshore passages.' All at Sea (October 2010) 'the absolute bible for anyone intending to go to sea in boats.' stainesnews.co.uk (October 2010) 'No other book explains every facet of sailing as comprehensively...any boat would be better equipped with this book aboard.' Yachting Monthly (December 2010) 'Excellent, a must for the library and winter reading.' Compass Magazine (2010) 'contains everything you need to know about the theory and practice of sailing' Surrey Herald (October 2010) 'An ideal gift to give to the aspiring sailor to ensure the challenges ahead are properly understood.' Nautical Magazine (March 2011) "These are new editions of well-established books essentially addressing the RYA Yachtmaster offshore qualification. Both books are beautifully produced with excellent diagrams and illustrations in full colour and seem to me to cover the syllabus comprehensively and well." The Little Ship (Spring 2011)
