Since the first edition was published, Pass Your Yachtmaster has helped thousands of students through their shore-based and practical Yachtmaster course. Concise and comprehensive, this ‘crammer’ covers all the essentials of the RYA syllabus, arranged in bite-size chunks to make revision easier and brought fully up to date in this, its sixth edition.

Throughout, the theory is set in a practical seagoing perspective, and helpful hints on exam tactics are provided too. And to relieve the tension of all that swotting, each section is enlivened with Mike Peyton’s best-loved cartoons.
