The Sport Yacht Certificate is the voluntary official qualification for operating a yacht on worldwide voyages across all seas. The textbook "Sport Yacht Certificate" provides all the teaching and examination material for the written, oral, and practical exams. Professors from the universities of nautical science in Bremen and Elsfleth have contributed to the central topics: Christoph Wand for terrestrial and astronomical navigation, Klaus Damm for electronic navigation, Peter Irminger as an expert in maritime law, and Harald Schultz, who is responsible for meteorology, as he was in the previous edition. Numerous practice exercises deepen the teaching material, and the solutions in the appendix allow for a check of the acquired knowledge, in addition to the written examination subjects of navigation, maritime law, and meteorology.
