Navigation & Technical Books

A Sailing book or guide can be invaluable for use in learning about sailing in general or for quick reference during journeys. At Mailspeed Marine you can buy a sailing book, navigation book or technical book for you to keep on board or for casual reading back at home. As you can imagine, considering the popularity of sailing as an activity, there are a raft of books and resources available on a massive range of subjects. We have books on everything from guides on knots, flags and rigging to manuals and instructive books on boat maintenance, marine electronics, navigation and chart reading, and engine care. It is particularly recommendable that every sailing vessel has on board a first aid manual to allow crewmates to perform basic first aid skills.
