A full-scale reference book for everyone boarding a seafaring vessel. The information is accessible, concise, up-to-date, and potentially life-saving.
The RYA (Royal Yachting Association) Sea Survival Handbook is the official text for the RYA basic Sea Survival Course and the RYA/ISAF Offshore Safety Course. Updated with new information and guidance on how to respond to emergencies at sea and is invaluable for anyone who takes a boat offshore.
It will teach you all you need to know about preparing to go to sea, emergency procedures, safety equipment, life-saving signals, handling heavy weather and choosing the most suitable life jacket or buoyancy aid.
Providing the most up to date information on all the above items, this book is written by Keith Colwell, (RNLI Divisional sea safety officer) and is impeccably illustrated by Steve Lucas.
This comprehensive and well-illustrated guide takes you step by step through all aspects of sea safety, from kitting your boat out, right through to correct procedures for abandoning ship.
The text is enlivened by a number of fascinating real life examples of boaters dealing with emergency situations.
