More than 100 illustrations help the reader grasp the fundamentals and fine points of handling a ship while the author describes in detail a sailor's tools basic knots and useful hitches as well as the arts of splicing handsewing and canvas work.Other topics equally important to safe economical and efficient boat maintenance and management include belaying coiling and stowing; towing procedures; how to make a chafing gear; and much more.

It also makes delightful reading for armchair sailors and the legions of landlubbers with an interest in the sea.</p> Dover Publications hardcover
