Practical Seamanship is unique
in that it is written for both novice and experienced sailors alike. It builds
on your existing knowledge, augmenting all you have learned with nearly a thousand
tips, techniques and warning signs, making all your cruising better. And the "essential
skills" you'll learn will make all the difference in difficult situations.
Practical Seamanship, as with the Dashews' other books, excels at
making this information easily accessible and user-friendly. More than just a
book, it is engineered to be used as a tool, with executive summaries, quick reference
check lists and detailed indexes. You'll refer back to it for years to come. It
is an important asset and should be aboard every vessel.
Whether you are
working your way through ice, piloting in coral, running a breaking bar, or pulling
a boat off a reef, Practical Seamanship covers it all.
The CD-ROM
edition brings the full power of PDF files to Practical Seamanship. Photos
are in color, the table of contents and indexes are "hot linked" to
the text, and you can use the powerful search functions of the PDF Format. The
CD-ROM edition is just $59.95.
