Here is the most thoroughly updated edition of Chapman
Piloting: Seamanship & Small Boat Handling ever!
In this completely revised, full-color edition, every page has been
rewritten to reflect the most recent advances in boating, including current laws and
regulations governing the nation's waterways. As the standard textbook relied on by
private boating schools throughout the country, Chapman's
is also recommended by the United States Power Squadrons and the United States Coast Guard
Auxiliary for their own public boating-education classes.
Both powerboaters and sailboaters will find within the pages of Chapman's the crucial information they need to participate
safely in their sport, whether as weekend sailors or seasoned voyagers. Included in
the 61st edition is the latest word on navigation using satellite technology, as well as
current methods in crew-overboard procedures. And with more than 1,500
illustrations, many now in full color, Chapman's
benefits from an exciting new look. Other new features include:
- Extensive subject cross-referencing
- Dozens of sidebars
- Color-coded tabs for easy access
- New section headings
- Exploded views and cutaways
- A comprehensive glossary of boating terms
- More information for trailerboaters
With all-new chapters on first aid afloat and boating with respect
for the environment, the 61st edition offers more than ever before.
Used for more than three quarters of a century as a classroom text
and on-board reference, Chapman's is known to this
day as the Bible of Boating.
