  • Ideal reading for yachts people.

    This book is a 5 star book for yachtsmen and yachtswomen only. Normal readers would find it difficult to understand the nautical situations and technical terms. Alot of the descriptions give implied understandings of the sea that can only be appreciated by sailors.
