There's not much of "advanced" here. I'm far from an expert but all the concepts exposed were easy to understand and not at all complicated. Some important ones are just touched, without any depth. I would have expected to be a more thorough manual, especially in explaining seamanship skills, the effect of the winds and in rules of navigation (there's barely anything about them).
Most of all, I've disliked the jumping from a topic to another, without any connection and apparently without any logic. In 5 pages it's possible to go from buoyancy to tides to sailing with a spinnaker, without apparent reason as to why choosing this order. It feels like much editing is still needed
