Reed's Skippers Handbook

by Art on

This has been an invaluable book for me not only because it's filled with an amazing amount of material that I read over and over again but... it's small enough to fit in a pocket so I end up taking it with me a lot. It's also very concise and can be used more like a reference tool rather than a book to learn from.

The illustrations are excellent and get the point across even if the subject is new to you so you can learn from it as well I guess. It helped me review skill areas before I took the RYA Exams. It will have a prominent location on my yacht some day.

This is one of my favorite and most used sailing books. I think it should be standard kit on every yacht!
