(I'd missed that it ws you with the original comment - definitely a sign it was my forgetfulness rather than anything else!)

Daughter has informed me she wants to get her Day Skipper (and presumably therefore ICC) to do a charter holiday.

Any suggestions of what might be the best text book to use as pre-reading ? Ideally something a bit more visual / inspiring than the dull old book I bought a while back.

Thanks
I’ve got a copy of the Tom Cunliffe book, not needed here. Please PM if you would like it

Good for her. (y)

Personally, I would not waste any time just getting a Day Skipper text book! Jump in and look at Yachtmaster. If the book does not put her off get the YM theory done. There is a lot of stuff that Day Skipper skips over, secondary port calculations that are really need to be understood if she is planning to do anything in the UK.
