 a practical approach to colregs September 2, 2006
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
There are 2 ways to learn Colregs. One is the rule and the reasons for the rule, light shape etc. - rather a classic intellectual approach to learning a body of work in its context. The other is a practical approach of repetition and natural progression groupinging similar topics.
This book uses the latter. With concentrated effort I was able to master all the previously difficult lights and shapes. I particularly liked the organization which does not simply follow the stucture of the Colregs, but still has a good cross reference for when you want to check what the rule actually says.
Essential for learning Colregs in a 'bootstrap' manner. Essential for RYA courses.

This little book is the benchmark for all Seaman Officers in the Royal Navy and my dog eared copy is never far away. Clear, concise and utterly thorough the novice and the expert will find this book useful for learning and re-learning.
Excellent training aid for anyone taking RYA courses. February 6, 2002

This is probably the most comprehensive book written as a guide to learning the rules of the road. The layout is very easy to follow, the reader can study at their own pace, and you seem to learn the subect with little effort.The claim that the Navy allow 6 hours to work through the book. I think the average seaman would require much longer. This book should be on every sailor's book shelf, and is an ideal present for any seamen you know.

This book is the most competent way of learning rules of the sea road. It has all people need from explanations, to comprehensive ways to test yourself and your knowledge. I think you will find that this book will help many sea fearer through there training as I am and put them in to "the know how" in a capable manner as to be able to further there careers.
