This alphabetically arranged reference work puts over 2,000 modern
nautical topics and terms at your fingertips, with enough
explanatory advice to be truly useful. Topics ranging from the
Navigation Rules, cruising under sail and power, electronics, and
communication, to safety, weather, technical topics, and
commonly-used spoken nautical language make this book a
comprehensive resource. The Topic Index helps you test your
knowledge and learn more about a subject, and the extensive
annotated bibliography identifies hundreds of relevant publications
and Internet resources. These terms are illustrated with 173 color
photographs and 11 line drawings. If you are thinking about getting
started on the water this book is for you. If you are already out
there and dreaming about distant horizons, there is a wealth of
information to help you become more competent, confident, and
comfortable afloat. International emphasis is also incorporated for
readers in Canada and across the pond.
