The Practical Mariner's Book of Knowledge: 420 Sea-Tested Rules of Thumb for Almost Every Boating Situation

User Review: - Need to Know
This is a well written book with short,to the point bits of information. Think of it as a "Swiss Army" type of book, chock full of the informative 'bits' of info that distinguish a mariner form the landllubber. It's a quick study and easy to read and a great source to keep on hand. The short summerized "Rules" with the "whys" are easy to learn and remember. They'll pop into your head when you need them. I'd like to give this to all of my clients. (I'm a yacht broker)to keep them smarter and safer.This book should be on every boatowners vessel next to the "Rules".

User Review: - Good reference for new/novice boater
I am fairly new to boating and found this dictionary style book to be a good reference. All terms provide a true definition as well as some useful history. Worth the read.

User Review: - Great book to keep by the head!
This is a great book for new sailors and old.... Keep it by the head and you will enrich you sailing and "sitting" experience (or "s_itting " experience, ha, ha)...Full of great items from the highly technical to the ethereal--all concerning our common lust for the sea! Great gift for the sailor who has nothing or everything! It has a wealth of usefull information.

User Review: - Bluewater sailor
Great book. Interesting and very funy. When you sail for a while you notice that things like the "black Box" described in the book are true. Very good advises...good companion if you planning bluewater sailing.
