A pocket database containing everything a busy skipper or their crew needs to know but might find hard to remember. It is easy to take for granted how much a skipper needs to know: Navigation, how to pilot the boat into a new harbour, using the radio, checking the engine, keeping an eye out for things that need repair, monitoring the weather, feeding the crew and much, much more! This pocketbook is designed as an aide-memoire with checklists to make life easier for busy skippers and a must-have reference for first-time skippers. It should also prove an invaluable reference book for the RYA Yachtmaster and other RYA course syllabi. The book has been helping skippers for over 25 years and has been edited and thoroughly updated by Yachtmaster Instructor and Examiner, Sara Hopkinson.

A handy, splash-proof, on-the-water aide memoire of everything the skipper and crew need to know – or find out quickly – when cruising: from lights, shapes and sound signals to knots, ropes and engine troubleshooting. With diagrams and illustrations throughout, this quick reference guide will help to keep you safe when out at sea.

Sailing is far more fun if you understand what is going on aboard and can give a hand. And if the weather turns nasty, or things go wrong (which is very rare), then an extra hand can be invaluable. This compact companion contains all the essential information that a new crew needs before stepping aboard: what clothes to bring, what the things on the deck are called, how to start helping with the sails and other deckwork. There is also an important section on safety and one on living aboard – because ‘boat living’ is not at all like living ashore. Ideal for a skipper to give out to new crew, or for a new crew to buy for themselves, to ensure that they know what to expect and get the most out of their first sailing experiences.

Denne lille håndboka er først og fremst for dem med noe båterfaring, men som likevel trenger å finne frem viktige opplysninger når noe uventet dukker opp. Og skippere har det ofte travelt; det er lett å overse detaljer og å glemme viktig kunnskap når en ikke bruker den daglig - og en står foran en ny sesong. Samtidig er boka velegnet til repetisjon for maritime prøver. Skipperens lommehåndbok er tilrettelagt for norske forhold. En del internasjonalt stoff er likevel beholdt uendret fordi det kan være nyttig når en ferdes i utlandske farvann. Her er kort og konsist om: . Navigasjon og kart . Tidevann og strøm . Sjøveisreglene . Merker og lys . Motorservice og feilsøking . Sjømannskap og skipperansvar . Sikkerhet og vedlikehold . Vær og vind Forfatteren har levd i og med båt hele sitt liv. Han skriver i de mest anerkjente engelske båtbladene og har utgitt en rekke bøker og undervist i nautiske fag. På norsk er tidligere utgitt av samme forfatter Ny som mannskap og Skipperens huskeliste (Pegasus 2008/2009). Skipperens lommehåndbok er den første i en ny serie kompakte og rimelig håndbøker som passer både på kartbordet og i lomma i sittebrønnen. Lommehåndbok- serien vil komplettere de 12 mindre vannavstøtende småbøkene som inngår i - i båten serien, og forlagets andre serie med mer omfattende innbundne håndbøker - for båtfolk.
