Now in its sixth edition, this must-have guide for aspiring Yachtmasters covers the essentials of the RYA syllabus and provides new tips on exam tactics.

Throughout, the theory is set in a practical seagoing perspective, and helpful hints on exam tactics are provided too. And to relieve the tension of all that swotting, each section is enlivened with Mike Peyton's best-loved cartoons.

“It is a slim book, but the size belies the amount of information within its covers. It is a 'cram course' - but it overlooks nothing, and is laid out to make studying or revising easier.” —Sailing

"You might buy this book earlier in your yachting career than the title suggests, sometime between Competent Crew and Day Skipper Practical. It would become an old friend and take you to Yachtmaster and beyond. The book will make a good revision text as well as handy reference in more seasoned skippers’ lockers." - Cruising Magazine
