A too-brief treatment for the recreational boater,
By Rich Kokoska (Mansfield Center, CT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nautical Rules of the Road Explained (Paperback)
With all due respect to the venerable Chesapeake Professional Captains quoted above, this little volume was just too sparse to make a dent in the understanding of most of us recreational boaters who don't already have the text of the COLREGS memorized, though obviously every little bit helps. The author needed to include more quotations of the actual language of the regs in his discussions. The high points for me were the discussion of obligations and liabilities in low-visibility navigation, and finding that some subtle language in the regs is meaningful (i.e., "vessel" and "vessel under power" are legally significant distinctions, not just rhetorical variants in the text). Everyone who cares about navigating safely will want to read this little tract, but don't make it the last one you buy...
