journey. With challenging, awe inspiring whitewater, b.EAST takes

of the sport.
Known internationally as "the Bible of canoe building,"
Canoecraft is back, and it's bigger and better than ever. The
best-selling how-to guide has been completely revised and expanded,
and master canoe builder Ted Moores again infuses the pages with
the experience and wisdom acquired over almost three decades. His
step-by-step instructions, generously illustrated with new
photographs and diagrams and incorporated into an accessible fresh
design, will allow even the beginner to create a reasonably priced
classic. North America's leading builder of woodstrip/epoxy canoes,
Moores is a longtime teacher of wooden-boat construction as well.
With students who have ranged in age from 11 to 87, Moores has
discovered that all have been motivated by the same dream: to build
something beautiful and functional.
Canoecraft is the road map to that dream. In it, Moores offers
comprehensive instructions for the first-time builder and, with the
second-time builder in mind, includes a larger variety of canoe
plans -- five of which are brand-new. In this edition, each plan is
presented as a traditional table of offsets. Moores has also added
a series of builder's tips and new techniques and an entire chapter
on carving a paddle, the perfect accompaniment to your handcrafted
canoe. His message is straightforward: When good materials are used
and simple steps performed with care, professional results are sure
to follow.
Whether your goal is to build a general-purpose recreational
canoe, an efficient modern tripping canoe or a full-decked
fast-cruising canoe with walnut veneer, Canoecraft can help you
make it happen.
For some learners a picture is worth a thousand words--and this lavishly illustrated volume proves the rule. The expert advice and lively illustrations combine to offer serious how-to instruction in an entertaining fashion to sea kayakers of all levels. Developed by an ACA-certified instructor over years of paddling and education, this complete program provides a visual tour of all that sea kayaking can offer, including ingenious tips on advanced paddling techniques, navigation and safety, and more.

required to navigate Atlantic coastal waters around the UK,
Ireland, Channel Islands, and the entire European coastline from
the tip of Denmark right down to Gibraltar, the Azores and Madeira.
A versatile system that combines almanac and pilotage information

the user tailor the Almanac to their needs by personalising the

take out. The Update Pack 2024 is for those who have bought the
Reeds Looseleaf Almanac in previous years and just want to update
their information rather than buy the binder again. Includes 700

tables, passage advice, area planning charts, rules of the road,

Channel Havens is a cruising guide with a difference. Recognising
that many of us would like to sail away from the crowd, Ken Endean
introduces the reader to beautiful, unfrequented places within the
Western English Channel, from the Solent to the West Country,
Channel Islands and Northern France. Here are sandy bays, coves,
reef anchorages and the upper reaches of river estuaries - places
neglected by most pilot books - where one can experience the sense
of discovery and adventure that is more usually associated with
faraway cruising. Anyone who is attracted by the dramatic scenery
of unspoilt coastal waters will treasure this guide from an
experienced sailors who has gone before.
This book is a companion to Volume 8 - General Engineering
Knowledge in the "Reed's Marine Engineering Series", and is based
on the DoT sylabus of Engineering Knowledge for the Class 2 and
Class 1 Engineers Steam Certificates and Steam Endorsements. It
includes a selection of questions of the type set in the exams for
Class 2 and Class 1 Engineers.
