The Reeds Handbook series covers practical sailing topics in a pocket-sized format. Each book is small enough for a jacket pocket or chart table drawer and focuses on a single subject with clear, concise reference material.
The range includes handbooks on knots, splicing, weather, clouds, VHF radio, first aid, lights and buoyage, flags, crew skills, outboard troubleshooting and ocean sailing. The Skipper's Handbook is a good general reference, while the Lights, Shapes and Buoyage Handbook is popular with those studying for RYA qualifications.
