Safe boat: a guide for all boaters on how to buy, equip, maintain and operate a safe boat
Year: 1999 Language: English Author: Jerry Kirschenbaum and Brayton Harris Genre: Handbook Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company Edition: First ISBN: 0-393-02910-7 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 470 Description: Safe Boat is the first fully comprehensive book to teach boating safety to owners of all recreational boats sail and motor from canoes to oceangoing yachts. Divided into three crucial subject areas, • The Boat and Her Equipment • The Skills of Safe Boating • Facing Problems and Handling Emergencies the book discusses, among many other topics, Design, Construction, Mechanical and Electrical Systems, the Survey, Safety and Emergency Equipment, Maintenance, Weather, Navigation, Safety Underway, Anchoring, and Dealing with Emergencies—everything from troubleshooting a nonfunctioning outboard motor to transferring an injured crew member. It also includes a discussion of Legal and Financial Safety—not included in other safety publications. The nine appendixes include a copy of the International Rules of the Road (something that owners of boats over 39 feet are obliged by law to carry on their boats at all times), the Marine Battery, Documentation, a Sailing Glossary, Suggested Further Reading, and Useful Addresses such as state boating safety offices and sources of safety equipment. Never before has a book covered the subject of boating safety so thoroughly. This vast collection of material might have been intimidating were it not for the over 300 photographs and illustrations, tables, and “takeouts”—boxes that highlight especially important points—which make the information in this remarkable volume clear and readily accessible to both novice and seasoned boater alike. Written by two former naval officers with extensive experience in recreational boats, the book so impressed Paul A. Yost, Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, that he endorsed it with a Foreword— something virtually unheard of until now.
