The Reed’s Skipper’s Handbook has been a bestseller since first publication. The previous edition sold over 60,000 copies, and it is easy to see why: a handy pocket size, it is an aide-memoire of everything a boater needs to know at sea. Packed with a wide range of information in a concise form it is frequently recommended by Yachtmaster Instructors as a quick reference guide and as a revision aid for anyone taking their Day Skipper or Yachtmaster certificates.

This 7th edition has been thoroughly revised, with updated text and illustrations throughout.

‘A terrific little volume’ Motorboat & Yachting

‘A brilliant guide for beginners and an excellent refresher for more advanced skippers… a top rate book’ Waterstones

‘Everything you would need to know when going to sea in a yacht or small boat…a humdinger of a little book’ Nautical Magazine

Reeds Skipper’s Handbook is a must for anyone going to sea in any size of boat – be they novice or old hand. Tens of thousands of skippers and crew have found it invaluable as a memory jogger and refresher whether at sea or on land.
