Media Reviews

' This is a book I would recommend to anyone from novice to day skipper...At just under GBP25 you are going to have to look very hard to find such a large amount of expert advice and information concentrated in such a reasonable space ' www.sailers.co.uk (Jan 2009) ' Lavishly illustrated, sharp photography...a first-class introductory text ' Yachting Monthly (March 2009) It lives up to its billing as 'the complete guide for all sailors from novice to experienced skipper' in style, and could hardly be better conceived or produced. Nautilus UK Telegraph (March 2009) It's a beautifully designed book, with glossy photos, diagrams and clear text, and a great read whether you're just starting out or looking to improve your skills. Practical Boat Owner (March 2009) This is a lovely book, a great present and a great motivator to get you going!! Multihull Review (Spring 2009)
