Revised and updated—don’t leave the dock without it!
Here is an excellent overview of both power boating and sailing that focuses on the techniques shared by both. Solid material any boater will need to know on buying a boat and the cost of ownership, marine power and motors, technology and weather, safety, navigation, and boat handling—as well as expanded coverage on sailing and a brand new chapter on personal watercraft—this is the only boating book to own.
About the Author
Frank Sargeant is a well-known boating writer with monthly features in Boating and Sports Afield magazines. He writes a weekly award-winning column on boating in the Tampa Tribune and has been a local favorite in Florida for 40 years. He has written ten books on boating, sailing, and fishing.
