Anyone who wants to operate a vessel subject to a licence on Lake Constance needs the Lake Constance skipper's licence A+D (Switzerland: skipper's licence / Austria: with the addition "for Lake Constance"). This includes motorboats with a propulsion engine of more than 6 hp and sailing vessels with a sail area of more than 12 square metres.

Written from practical experience, this textbook concentrates on the examination material compiled by the shipping offices of the Lake Constance district, Constance and Lindau. The basis for this is the official question catalogue for the Lake Constance skipper's licence A+D, which is also included in full in the book.

The 20 additional Austria-specific questions from the Bregenz district authority have also been newly included.

Supplemented by a small nautical dictionary and answers to the most important questions on how best to prepare for the Bodenseeschifferpatent A+D examination, this textbook is divided into the following chapters:

Area studies
All about the sailing boat
Handling lines
Theory and practice of sailing
All about motorboats
Driving a motorboat
This book enables uncomplicated and quick preparation for the theoretical examination for the Lake Constance boat licence A+D, without neglecting the necessary practical knowledge.
