The weather affects everyone at sea, whether you are pottering along the coast, motoring from port to port or sailing to another continent.

This book - produced in consultation with the RYA - explains in clear, simple terms the basic principles that govern the weather. It helps the reader learn how to get the most from weather maps and forecasts, deduce how the wind will be modified by the coast and whether or not a sea breeze will set in. It also shows how to keep an eye on the clouds, the waves and the barometer, and how to anticipate hazards such as gales, thunderstorms and fog.
