Product Description

We have enhanced our digital editions (where possible) to bring the content to life by embedding animations, video and interactive tools to help illustrate the key points and skills from our popular books; download this free app to gain access to all of the eBook editions within. The app also includes free taster versions of the eBooks so you can even try before you buy.

These eBooks are a great resource supporting our world famous RYA Training Courses such as those within the trademark RYA Yachtmaster Scheme, the RYA Powerboat Scheme and the RYA Dinghy Sailing & Windsurfing Schemes among others. You will find eBooks of essential and recommended titles along with plenty of further reading and development, whether you’re starting to sail by taking a Competent Crew course, taking things further with a Day Skipper course or taking your RYA Yachtmaster exam – whatever you need, we’ve got it covered!

There are great examples throughout our range of our use of interactive content in areas such as seamanship, boat handling, passage planning, knots and stability but you’ll find something very special in our editions for:
• VHF – where we’ve created animated examples of the voice procedures in the RYA VHF Handbook to help students pass the RYA SRC exam and also linked the content to sample questions.
• Navigation – where we’ve developed a special tool to replicate using the tidal curves in the RYA Training Almanacs
• The Racing Rules of Sailing – where we’ve developed our own rules engine which links the racing rules to RYA and ISAF cases and also Q&As.

Although these eBooks are designed for tablets, we’re still keeping smart phones very much in mind. This way, you’ll still be able to access the enhanced interactive content on the smaller devices even if you feel you wouldn't read a book on something so small.

There’s plenty for instructors as well with not only the interactive content, that can be used as demonstrations and enhanced learning on and off the water. There are also a whole host of useful features, (which we’re always evolving) such as bookmarking, note taking and inter-edition linking that will help you manage the content you want to support the way you teach.

This updated version of the app now includes a wider range of boating categories to make it easier for you to navigate all the new content that we are regularly adding:
• Sail
• Dinghy
• Sail Racing
• Sail Cruising
• Windsurfing
• Power
• Powerboating
• Motor Cruising
• Personal Watercraft
• Inland Waterways

5.0 out of 5 stars A great APP 26 Jun. 2014
Verified Purchase
A great APP that is easy to use on my Kindle HD. I bought a kindle for reading instructional books that really need to be in color. Its a pity more publishers don't catch on to this use as the Kindle is much more portable than the bookcase that contains my other instructional manuals and reference books. I hope the RYA make all their publications available in electronic format. It will make them much more usable aboard the boat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yachtmaster offshore 21 May 2014
Verified Purchase
Excellent little book covering all important items , only wish that RYA had more of its books as e-books. Would help enormously, as I have to keep so many up todate manuals on board different yachts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Starting Sailing 20 May 2015
Verified Purchase
The book explains the principles well. However, trying to turn pages in the e-book is very sluggish and resistant. I assume this is something to do with having to access the book through the RYA app.
