First published almost a century ago, the bible of boating has changed with the times. Updated and expanded over the decades, Charles F. Chapman's book continues to be an essential resource for both new and experienced boaters. The book covers all aspects of boating. Its color-coded end pages make it easy to find the information you need. It includes 1,500 color photographs plus graphs and tables to illustrate points made in the text as well as thorough appendices and a superb index. -C. Henry Depew, The Ensign, the official publication of United States Power Squadrons This . . . classic reference used by boating schools and recommended by the Coast Guard Auxiliary covers every imaginable topic related to both powerboats and sailing ships . . . information is presented in an easy-to-understand text and a user-friendly design. -Publishers Weekly, praise for previous editions Chapman is still the gold standard by which all other boating books are judged. It has all the information you need to safely use and enjoy your boat. Read it and then keep it on board for future reference. You'll be glad you have it. -Peter A. Janssen, Editor, Cruising Odyssey For decades, Chapman has been a comprehensive resource for any sailor or boater looking to learn or refresh their knowledge and skills. It's the resource for anyone who spends time on the water and has been my go-to for years. I'm always surprised at just how helpful and complete it is with everything from safety and best practices, to navigation and more. -Trevor Richardson, in-shore racer & coastal cruiser
