Editorial Reviews
Review
"One of the best books about this approach (simply go at it) to cruising is called Nautical No-No's. A funny collection of experiences by Elyse & Robert Katz of Newton, who bought their modest cruiser and took off into Buzzard's Bay with less experience than hope, less know-how than willingness". -- Tony Chamberlain/Boston Globe
"This book brings back many memories and does it in a most humerous way. It is good reaading". -- U.S.C.G.Aux. National Magazine

Nautical No-No's,
By Elyse Katz (Boston, Mass) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nautical No-No's (Paperback)
This book, with its seventy-nine fun filled illustrated chapters of nautical humor, provides an addition to the technical treatises on learning to sail. It is a "what not to do and what to do when you have done it" approach to the education of a sailor. The pen and ink drawings serve to illustrate the subject matter and enhance the humor. The pratfalls that are bound to affect anyone who is new to sailing are described in amusing detail and provide a learning experience.
