Being able to communicate with the local people is very important
– whether it is to ask for a berth, a spare part or where the
nearest chandlery or supermarket is. So, with this book, even if
your pronunciation is a bit out, you should still be able to make
yourself understood, quickly and efficiently, which makes this
dictionary a vital part of your cruising kit. The pocket dictionary
is centred around clear, colour, annotated diagrams, such as parts
of the rig and engine, in each nautical subject area, and makes it
very easy and convenient to translate between nine languages
(English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Danish,
Portuguese and Greek). The diagrams can easily be used to show
someone what is meant (or what is broken!) without having to worry
about the language barrier. It covers general terms, such as 'port'
and 'starboard', as well as technical words relating to engine and
rigging repair and maintenance. Other topics include navigation,
weather, seamanship, requesting help, medical emergencies, safety
equipment, numbers and time. Whether you’re a keen offshore
sailor, motorboater or even an armchair boating enthusiast, Reeds
9-Language Handbook is a handy reference tool that will help expand
both your ability to communicate and your horizons.
