About the Book

This is the most looked-for New Zealand text on mariner's local weather forecasting and is generally recognised as the tutor's mainstay for local certificate teaching in marine weather. The text is an amended reprint of the original with details updated where the original requires, such as the renaming of the forecast areas around New Zealand, etc. This book has been written for all those who enjoy being afloat, under power or sail. Whilst an ever increasing number of people are taking to the water, some do not appreciate the crucial role played by the weather. The narrative explains the elements of the weather in plain language, so that the facts are clearly understood. It also offers useful information to supplement area forecasts, so the sailor can make on-the-spot observations and act accordingly. Weather-wise Boating is of particular value to those studying for New Zealand marine certificates: the original prescription for the book is based on the syllabus common to the weather sections of local Coastguard and Maritime Safety Authority certificates. The text is copiously illustrated and written in an easy-to-follow style.
