Master RIB & Sportsboat Handling

Over 300 photos and illustrations guide you from beginner to expert powerboat handling.

Powerboats are fast, fun and exhilarating. The sensation of speed as you skim across the water, the sun, the spray and the sea air combine to make it an unforgettable experience, but the powerboat must be handled with care and treated with respect. This is the ideal guide for anyone thinking about going afloat in any powered craft up to 30 ft long, whether you're a beginner needing an introduction or an expert seeking a refresher. Bursting with over 300 photographs and illustrations, this is your perfect companion for having fun and staying safe on the water. Arm yourself with this book, a boat and a trailer and get out there and start exploring. Recommended by British Water Ski & Wakeboard for their Ski Boat Driving Award Scheme.

About Fernhurst Books

Fernhurst Books was founded in 1979, initially publishing books related to dinghy racing. The list soon expanded to include cruising and other watersports. In 2006 the business was sold to John Wiley, but in 2013 a group of sailing enthusiasts (including the original founder) bought the list and name back, once again creating an independent nautical publisher owned and run by sailors. Fernhurst continues to publish books that instruct, inform and inspire those with a passion on, in or under the water. Their 140+ titles range from how-to guides to narrative to coffee-table books, covering sailing, surfing, canoeing, kayaking, stand up paddleboarding, swimming, diving and fishing.
