Customer Reviews

Excellent - Clear and Comprehensive
This is a superb manual for powerboat training - the clearest reference guide by one of the most knowledgeable experts in the field. It's packed with tips and good advice and well worth the money. Don't go out on the water without getting hold of a copy!

Powerboating: The RIB and Sportsboat handbook
This book is a handy reference manual but was also key to passing my powerboat national certificate. Much of the course work was covered in the book so that I could spend more time on the practical side of boat handling than the theory. The book is nicely presented and superbly illustrated through out. There are handy hints in the book such as launching the trailer by attaching a rope to the car hitch that afterwards seem like commonsense but for the novice the illustrations are extremely helpful.
