Excellent book for twin engined motor boaters - By: , 24 Mar 2003 
Overall this is an excellent book for people about to embark on the Day Skipper practical course. It gives clear & consise guidance & tips & allows the new skipper to think about his priorities. It has to be said that the book is of less use (but certainly not useless) to those with single engined boats.
An excellent preparation for the RYA Day Skipper course - By: brianthesnail@hotmail.com, 22 Aug 2001 This book is well written & logically ordered. The authors have clearly given a lot of thought to the demands of handling a motor cruiser, particularly if you are new to the area.
I have gained a lot of practical knowledge from it & often use it for reference, especially when I have friends who are new to motor cruising on board.
It is designed for inboard engines, as is the RYA course it is clearly designed to accompany.
Suitable if you have a boat with 2 propellers - By: , 30 Jul 2001 
The book is well written & gives relevant information about seamanship. However sections like advanced motoring techniques or procedures for leaving a berth & arrival are valid for boats with 2 propellers & if you have a boat with one propeller (i.e. an outboard engine), it doesn't help at all. Therefore I'm disappointed with what I get out of it.
