About This Book
Superyacht Master covers the requirements of the navigation and radar modules for the Officer of the Watch (Yachts) and the Master (Yachts) Certificates required for captains and crew of commercial
yachts over 24m and under 3, 000 tons. It is the only book written specifically for these modules and will be required reading for all those undertaking a deck career in the superyacht industry or in similar sized commercial craft. This book is intended for the next level of navigators after Yachtmaster and is an extension of the current series of very successful and highly regarded course instruction books available from Adlard Coles Nautical. 'At long last someone has written an in-depth reference manual on radar operation for the masters of large yachts. Every superyacht should have a copy on the bridge!' John Wyborn, Director, The Crew Training Centre, Antibes
