Here is a link to their coastal navigation book. It has some good
chart work problems in it

Just ordered it, looks to be of some help. This is exactly what I was looking
for. I found Bowditch online and it's stuffed to the gills with info and looks
like a must have refrence.

Give us some feedback on the yachtmaster program,

I can only give some feedback on the UKSA Professional Crew and Skipper
training course. I was there about a year ago but due to a medical problem, I
had to return to the states, which scared the **** out of me because the
tuition was so high. Well it was high for me, being a broke college kid when I
fell in love with sailing, actually it's still high for me, even at the lofty
age of 23. It took three jobs and almost two years to save the $20,000 for
tuition, airfare and "mile building." The tuition covers 8 weeks training at
sea and 9 weeks shore-based training. The instructors are top-notch(even for
Brits), I found the whole school to be flooded with people that love what they
do and it rubs off. You can go here to get all of the info on the school.
