A Seaman's Guide to the Rule of the Road

Great book to help learn rules of the road

A very clear and concise explanation of the colregs for anyone who goes to sea in anything from a canoe to a supertanker

I bought this book as a gift for a friend who was taking his RYA Day Skipper exam. When I was struggling to learn the Collision Regulations many years ago someone pointed me towards this book. It uses programmed learning . It is simple to read and the short sentences and illustrations make it quick and easy to work through the book. After two readings I had learned all of the regulations. Over the years I occasionally skim through it just to brush up on my knowledge. I have yet to find a quicker way of learning the Collision Regulation. Several pages were marked and I returned it for a replacement using Amazons excellent free service. It was replaced within a week. Only got to pay your taxes now Amazon!

Nevermind the RYA book, or any other book for that matter, THIS is the book that will teach you colregs. It's "programmed", in that it's written in such a way that it almost requires no effort to remember the regs... you just read the book from left to right, answer the questions it asks (mostly in your head), and hey presto - you know colregs. Great buy.

Very informative, ideal for the would be boat owner

I really like this - it takes you through very steadily and without spurious commentary. You can pick it up for ten mins at a time, apart for some sections which take an hour or so to work through and you wouldn't want to put it down halfway through 'cos you'll never remember and have to start again.

What on first appearance appears to be the kind of book that will have you sleeping after a few pages in fact, turns out to be an interesting read. Purchased for my daughter who is intent on going into the RN as a warfare officer I thought I'd have a read before passing it over. The first few pages advise the reader as to why the book came about, how it is to be used and that it's a tried and tested method. This then leads on to the rules and I have to say, the read is very logical and very easy to understand. So good, I've got one for myself.

Brilliant book! Not only does it contain the rules verbatim in the back, throughout the majority of the book it breaks down each rule into a clear and concise way. Most rules have illustrations included which help the learning! Great buy for all those interested in the rules of the road, especially those considering a career as a naval officer. I use it in conjunction with an application on my phone, they complement each other perfectly. =D
