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.

the salty tradition of its predecessors. It supplies all the navigation

to make each ocean-going trip safe and enjoyable. Typhoon up ahead? Knight’s

what you have to do to avoid dangerous weather systems. What kind of communication
equipment should you have on board? A new section on ship communications
tells you how to select and operate modern communication devices. This
eighteenth edition also provides you with new sections on channel marking,

given on:
the rules of the road—you get clear explanations of right
of way, the use of radar to avoid collisions, and the law in fog; included
is the complete text of the Inland Navigational Rules Act of 1980. Every
vessel over 12 meters in length is required by law to have a copy of these
rules on board.
shiphandling—you’ll find expert discussions on
docking, mooring, and anchoring; helicopter operations; and ice seamanship
ship and boat operation—you get concise explanations of ship
structure and stability, propulsion and steering, ground tackle, and cargo
handling and underway replenishment
You’ll even learn the art of knotting and splicing. Without
a doubt, Knight’s Modern Seamanship, Eighteenth Edition, is
your foremost guide to mastering the lore of the sea. It is an indispensable
reference source for pleasure boaters, merchant marine personnel, and anyone
