Learn the Nautical Rules of The Road - new book from Wiley

by Sail-World Cruising on 26 May 2010 If you are studying for a commercial mariner's qualification, Yachtmaster or Coastal Skipper - or even if you're not - this publication, Learn the Nautical Rules of The Road, is a straightforward way to study the COLREGS that every sailor needs to know.

Author Paul Boisser explains the intention of each rule and how it should be applied when on the water with little anecdotes along the way, making this one of the most easy to read rules books out there.

This comprehensive new edition includes step by step guides and tips on how to remember the various rules. As a bonus, quiz questions will be available on www.wileynautical.com.

Paul Boisser is a former senior Admiral in the Royal Navy and current Chief Executive of the RNLI. Paul has spent more time on the water, than on land in a wide variety of vessels, commanding two submarines and a surface warship during his navy career. He is also an experienced yachtsman and has cruised extensively.

These perspectives from the cockpit of a yacht and the bridge of a large ship make him the ideal author for a COLREG guide which will be equally useful to both leisure boat users and professional mariners.

50p from the sale of each book will be donated to Britain's Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).

To learn more, or purchase the book, either go to your local bookstore (book was out in April, so should be arriving in most boating bookstores now) or go to the www.wileynautical.com!Wiley_Nautical_Website.
