The Practical Mariner's Book of Knowledge: 420 Sea-Tested Rules of Thumb for Almost Every Boating Situation

Boating touches upon such a wide array of disciplines that precise instructions are scattered among dozens of volumes. But basic facts and figures are often all that is needed for on-board assistance, planning, and reassurance. This book-distilled from centuries of seafearing wisdom (and the author's 20 years of researching, clipping, and collecting)-provides quick, simple answers to most of the questions sailors and powerboaters-both novice and experienced-ask about small boats and the sea.
