Over 12,000 people, with no sailing experience, successfully complete the course every year. This book has been written using the knowledge of hundreds of experienced instructors. The techniques shown are tried and tested and suitable for most types of cruisers. It is designed to assist you in understanding new concepts and in particular to help you remember some of the unique terminology that is used in the world of boating. It is an excellent starting point for those undertaking their first boating experience in order to make sense of the first few days on board or as a handy reference book for those returning to the sport after time away from it. This edition has been updated to include motor vessels in order to appeal to both sail and power readers; the illustrations have been completely modernised and the look and feel of the layout has benefitted from an overall redesign. Review: Great preparation for any sailing course - I read this book while preparing to do two of the most basic RYA courses – Level 1 and Level 2 Sailing – on successive weekends. It covers all the key skills needed to get started in sailing, whether you’re on a dinghy or a super yacht. It has clear descriptions of sailing manoeuvres like tacking and gybing, good illustrations and explanations of sailing jargon. I will read it again when I book the competent crew course. Review: Entirely relevant content for the RYA Competent Crew course or anyone looking to learn to crewing - I’m new to sailing and after looking at and reading 2 other similar books, I find this to be the best one for me. Excellent - clearly explained and well illustrated content. Not too much detail for me but others disagree. Just the right physical book size. Entirely relevant content with level of detail for the RYA competent crew course. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 17,579 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 65 in Water Sports (Books) 471 in General Sports, Hobbies & Games | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 295 Reviews | ## Images ![RYA Competent Crew Skills - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sOX+AGUAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great preparation for any sailing course *by I***S on 3 July 2025* I read this book while preparing to do two of the most basic RYA courses – Level 1 and Level 2 Sailing – on successive weekends.
