a practical approach to colregs - By: D. myatt, 02 Sep 2006 
There are 2 ways to learn Colregs. One is the rule & the reasons for the rule, light shape etc. - rather a classic intellectual approach to learning a body of workin its context. The other is a practical approach of repetition & natural progression groupinging similar topics.
This book uses the latter. With concentrated effort I was able to master all the previously difficult lights & 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 Colregsin a 'bootstrap' manner. Essential for RYA courses.
Thoroughly recommended by Royal Navy - By: William Lyons, 15 Apr 2006 This little book is the benchmark for all Seaman Officersin the Royal Navy & my dog eared copy is never far away. Clear, concise & utterly thorough the novice & the expert will find this book useful for learning & re-learning.
Excellent training aid for anyone taking RYA courses. - By: clive_mason@breathemail.net, 05 Feb 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, & 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, & is an ideal present for any seamen you know.
The complete way to learn - By: , 03 Feb 2002 This book is the most competent way of learning rules of the sea road.

I think you will find that this book will help many sea fearer through there training as I am & put themin to "the know how"in a capable manner as to be able to further there careers.
