Reviews

“I gave a copy to a dinghy sailor who had very little navigation knowledge and, within an hour or so, she felt confident enough to do the basics to get a boat from A to B using chart navigation. A good first introduction to navigation.” (Sailing Today) "This excellent book has the best explanation of accessing your course to steer I’ve ever read. Her no-nonsense approach will be a huge benefit to the novice sailor grappling at home with training, but it will also be welcomed by the harassed skipper, a little rusty from winter lay-up, who just wants a quick reminder of what he’s supposed to be doing. I will keep a copy aboard myself." (Yachting Monthly)
