Nautical Know-How

Instructional books covering the core skills of seamanship, navigation, weather, safety, radio communications, rules of the road and heavy weather sailing. This collection brings together the how-to titles that help you develop practical knowledge on the water. Use the filters on this page to narrow by subject, or browse via the main menu above.

These books sit alongside our RYA course book section but are not tied to any particular syllabus. Many are useful as background reading for RYA candidates, but they are just as relevant to self-taught sailors or anyone who wants to brush up on a particular topic. Authors include Tom Cunliffe, Pat Manley, Chris Tibbs and other well-known sailing instructors.
