After years of writing award-winning articles for major boating
magazines, David S. Yetman had compiled over one thousand nautical
terms and phrases every boater should know. The next logical step:
writing an excellent reference book containing these terms and
phrases. This book contains the phonic pronunciation for the
appropriate entries and many illustrations to further explain the
text.
During the past several hundred years, the boating community has
developed a language all its own. This book is not intended to list
every obscure term, but it will give the reader a broad
cross-section of those which arise in the course of boating.
Most people use at least a few of these terms or phrases in
everyday conversation without realizing their nautical nature. The
first entry in the book is a prime example -- we are taken aback by
an unmanageable condition. Sometimes, we take a sounding to see how
much leeway we have and grant a wide berth to those who may be
off-course.
Reading a boating-related magazine or having a conversation on
the dock will be much less puzzling after reviewing the entries in
this book. Regardless of your familiarity with boats, you will find
this to be an excellent reference tool to add to your boating
library. Enjoy the knowledge! Illustrated.
