Well researched - practical information in an easy to assimilate form * Professor Richard Collier, former President of the Royal Meteorological Society * So good that my Yachtmaster candidates would do well to read it. I learned something from this book. I bet you do too * Tom Cunliffe, author of The Complete Day Skipper and The Complete Yachtmaster * Absolutely brilliant; a must for anyone who does anything outside and for whom the weather might be important. Everyone, wherever they are in the world, will get something from this book * Duncan Wells, author of Stress-Free Sailing *
