Year: 1977 Language: english Author: Barry A. Kusnick Genre: Handbook Publisher: Cruising World, U.S.A. Edition: First ISBN: B002JMNZTU Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 458 Description: This highly detailed and competent introduction to boating is directed at both the neophyte contemplating the purchase of a boat and the “old hand" wanting to explore the uses of newer materials in both power and sail. Everything the beginner needs to know about choosing, maintaining, and piloting sailboats and powerboats is here, along with clear instructions for trailering, signaling, tying knots, and anchoring. Nautical terminology is defined in a complete glossary, legal requirements are explained in a full chapter, weather is made comprehensible with the use of charts, and costs are explored for a number of power and sailboats. Materials used in both kinds of boat are surveyed, as are a number of types of engines and sails. Everything is up-to-date in materials, techniques, and designs. Illustrative anecdotes convey the romance, adventure, and music of the sea and the inland waters. Photographs of excellent clarity and superb original drawings by the highly competent artist-sailor James Mitchell bring the descriptions to life.
