Genre: Guide Publisher: International Marine Publications Co ISBN: 0-87742-289-3 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 424 Description: Boat noodling. Boat lovers suffer universally from this benign affliction. In its mildest form boat noodling is nothing more than wondenng why that sloop in the next slip is faster than yours. In a more senous manifestatiori it could mean senous daydreaming — drifting off for extended penods, sketching design ideas on the back of an envelope. Chances are, if you’ve picked up this book just to see what’s in it, you’re beyond help. Naval architect Dave Gerr offers the perfect antidote, a browser’s reference to understanding how boats tick: all you’ve ever wanted to know about boats — power and sail, race and cruise, dinghy and megayacht. In the clear, friendly, nontechnical style that has made his column for Offshore magazine so endunng and popular, Gerr explains everything from how thick a hull should be to why one sailboat tips less than another, from choosing an engine to designing a rig for your trawler yacht, from building a dinghy to simple rules of thumb for dozens of design quandanes. Gerr wntes for the boot noodler in us all — those senously interested in learning and dreaming about all types of watercraft. There is no better way to become a better seaman, equipped to handle any contingency. And there’s no better place to start than right here.
