Book description
A good working knowledge of the Rule of the Road is essential
for
both skippers and crew of yachts and motorboats - as well as
everyone
else who goes to sea. It is also an important part of
RYA Day Skipper and Yachtmaster courses.
Learning the Rule of the Road includes the full text of The
International
Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, but
because these
Regulations are lengthy and detailed they are not
always easy to
understand - nor is it easy to find your way
around. This guide takes those sections of the rules that
particularly
affect small craft, and explains them briefly and
simply. Lights,
shapes and sounds signals are clearly set out, as
are the basic
steering and sailing rules. The full text of the
Regulations is
also included at the end of the book for
reference.
This guide is ideal for beginners but is also an ideal aide-memoire
for those with more experience.
