Reeds Handbooks are pocket-sized quick-reference guides from Reeds, the publisher of the Reeds nautical almanacs. Each covers a single subject in short sections with clear diagrams, small enough for a jacket pocket or the chart table drawer, and they are written for sail and motor boats alike.
Subjects include knots and splicing, weather and clouds, storm tactics, VHF radio, first aid, lights, shapes and buoyage, maritime flags, crew skills, outboard motor troubleshooting, ocean sailing and a nine-language nautical dictionary. The general skipper's guide in the series covers navigation, the rules of the road, safety and weather, and doubles as a revision aid for RYA Day Skipper and Yachtmaster.
