Practical Encyclopedia of Boating

All sailors need to be self-sufficient. This requires them to be, at once, seaman, navigator, mechanic, electrician, painter, chippy, meteorologist, doctor, cook and diplomat. John Vigor aims to provide a comprehensive guide to all these practical, and many theoretical, aspects of leisure sailing. From seamanship to maintenance, navigation to boat design and construction, nautical lore to esoterica to the science of how things work, this reference, for both sail and power, gives sailors quick access to that information. A handy problem solver. 200 Illustrations. HB. 352pp.
