What s the French term for a diesel glow plug? What s the Dutch word for a winch handle? The answers are in this book. --Soundings
"If you're planning to cruise abroad you ll want this book on board. It's a multilingual dictionary that covers cruising terms in English, French, German, Dutch, Danish, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, and Greek. It covers all the subjects the boater might need including words for several thousand onboard items." --Latitudes and Attitudes, December, 2008
Let s face it: the lexicon of yachting is tough enough in the native tongue. So, it strikes us as particularly brilliant that we can now cruise the world and be prepared to say seacock, halyard, or I need a tow in French, German, Dutch, Danish, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, and Greek. ... The book has also kept pace with innovations in the boating world and the labeled drawings of sailing rigs will be particularly helpful if you should find yourself capsized in Copenhagen, stern-to in Sardinia, or dead reckoning near Dominica. --Yachting Magazine, October 2008

No Clue, In A Foreign Port And A Foreign Language,
This review is from: Yachtsman's Ten Language Dictionary (Paperback)
I have been cruising in many different areas around this beautiful globe and I find this dictionary to be one of the few available on the market. The book is divided up in to catagories such as the hull, deck, navigation, commands, refrigeration, engine etc., although I am fluent in French and German, this book aids me immensely to navigate through the seaman's language in 10 different toungues. Sailor's terminology can be rather intimdating to some people in their own language, let alone in another foreign language. I you are planning a cruise around the Caribbean, Mediterranean, South America or Africa buy this dictionary. The only negative part about this book, is that it contains no middle eastern or far eastern languages such as Arabic, Persian, Thai, Chinese, Fiji or Indonesian. If they would have added these languages to the book, it would have been too combursome to use hold the dictionary.

Yachtsman's Ten Language Review,
By
This review is from: Yachtsman's Ten Language Dictionary (Multilingual Edition) (Paperback)
Excellent resource for Europe, The Mediterranean Sea, and the Pacific Coast.
I would have preferred Roman alphabet or a Roman phoenic respelling of the Greek and Turkish languages so that I could pronounce the expressions and words at least roughly.
