Chapman Piloting, Seamanship and Small Boat Handling: New 58th Edition Completely Updated

Excellent book, the best in its class. It contains all the needed information for safe boating.

This book is a must for anyone who is seriously thinking about spending time out on the water. There is very detailed information on every aspect of seamanship and boating. Boaters who are just beginning to those who are so called "experts" really must have a copy of this book in their nautical library. I have a very old copy which is well read and tattered and now it is time to buy a newer edition. It is even better than before with updated critical information on all kinds of topics. Anyone interested in boating can spend endless hours just browsing and reading this book. "May the wind always fill your sails!"
