The Skipper's Pocketbook
Fernhurst Books Limited (Verlag)
978-1-917801-02-7 (ISBN)
A pocket database containing everything a busy skipper or their crew needs to know but might find hard to remember.
It is easy to take for granted how much a skipper needs to know: Navigation, how to pilot the boat into a new harbour, using the radio, checking the engine, keeping an eye out for things that need repair, monitoring the weather, feeding the crew and much, much more!
This pocketbook is designed as an aide-memoire with checklists to make life easier for busy skippers and a must-have reference for first-time skippers. It should also prove an invaluable reference book for the RYA Yachtmaster and other RYA course syllabi.
The book has been helping skippers for over 25 years and has been edited and thoroughly updated by Yachtmaster Instructor and Examiner, Sara Hopkinson. It has been streamlined to focus on the key things a skipper needs to know, making it quicker to find what you need and all for less than £10.

Sara Hopkinson is an experienced sailor, a Yachtmaster Instructor and Examiner and lives at Pin Mill in Suffolk where she runs an RYA Training Centre which specialises in navigation, radio, radar and first aid courses. She was a Coastguard Rescue Officer for many years and Station Officer of HM Coastguard, Holbrook. She has written books for the RYA and Fernhurst Books. Basil Mosenthal sailed extensively in all the oceans of the world. After leaving the Royal Navy he was a partner in one of the first yacht delivery firms.
