- Boat Handling Under Power--Bob Sweet
- Sail Trim and Rig Tuning--Bill Gladstone
- Using Nautical Charts--Bob Sweet
- Using GPS--Bob Sweet
- Using VHF and SSB Radios--Bob Sweet
- Rules of the Road and Running Light Patterns--Charlie Wing

Each subject is stripped to its absolute essence. Only a panel of top nautical experts could pack such a wealth of information into such a small book. Equally valuable for home study and onboard reference, The Instant Handbook includes all the essentials and not a word more.
