A useful prep book.
Pass Your Day Skipper

I bought Pass your day skipper to brush up before an ICC exam. (I have been sailing for 10 years but never got round to the exams) I found it useful to revise some of the things I hadn't used too much in day to day sailing. This book is a quick read, broken down into sensible 1 -3 page topics. This means you can read/revise a section in a few minutes without having to interrupt your studies mid section.

I would say it does require some basic knowledge of sailing/chart work etc but then if you're doing your day skipper, one would assume you have done your comp. Crew or have done some sailing already!

excellent book,well written.
I love this book ,it's well written, easy to understand, tells it as it is without being too wordy.
