Chapman
Piloting & Seamanship 64th Edition
by Elbert S. Maloney, Charles Frederic Chapman
When Chapman Piloting lands on your doorstep--all 656 pages
of it--it's easy to feel daunted. Have faith, sailor. Now in its 64th edition,
Charles Frederic Chapman's masterpiece is a boater's bible. Indeed, one
Amazon.com customer raves, "if you could take a class called Boating 101,
this would be the textbook." It's more than just a basic text, however;
it's a complete curriculum of nautical knowledge, from knots to navigation,
docking to distress calls, plus etiquette, protocol, and terminology for
powerboaters and sailors alike. Accessible to the beginner, Chapman
Piloting is an essential reference for even the most experienced sailor.
A necessary component of any nautical library. Highly recommended. --M.
