Learning the Rule of the Road

A good working knowledge of the Rule of the Road is essential for

both skippers and crew of yachts and motorboats - as well as everyone

else who goes to sea. It is also an important part of RYA Day Skipper and Yachtmaster courses.



Learning the Rule of the Road includes the full text of The International

Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, but because these

Regulations are lengthy and detailed they are not always easy to

understand - nor is it easy to find your way around. This guide takes those sections of the rules that particularly

affect small craft, and explains them briefly and simply. Lights,

shapes and sounds signals are clearly set out, as are the basic

steering and sailing rules. The full text of the Regulations is

also included at the end of the book for reference.

This guide is ideal for beginners but is also an ideal aide-memoire for those with more experience.
