5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for the serious sailor, November 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Boating Etiquette (Chapman's Nautical Guides) (Paperback)

- What is the proper response to a vessel that allows her fenders to remain adangle after she has left the dock?

- Does your burgee fly from the starboard spreader, in the face of nautical tradition?

- What is the correct flag arrangement for "dressing ship"? (Yes, they're supposed to droop into the water.)

The answers to these and other vital questions in this invaluable guide to the traditions and etiquette of yachts and those who sail them.

This review is from: Boating Etiquette (Chapman's Nautical Guides) (Paperback)

Chapman's guides are highly accessible reading for boating. These guides are small enough to leave aboard the cruising vessel as a reference. Well done but not as good as the more comprehensive volume: Chapman Piloting Seamanship & Boat Handling.

I will never again use the Yachting Ensign in place of the US Ensign at the stern. Nor will you if you read this book. Boaters, all, please take note.

This book makes an excellent paper weight and only lacks appeal when opened and read. The "author" of this book would do best to seek another career path. Read more
