Boat Docking (Close Quarters Maneuvering for Small Craft) Description:
Boat Docking (Close Quarters Maneuvering for Small Craft) review: 4 stars (Very Good Content -- Very Poor Binding) - This book contained what I thought was very good information. It was presented in a clear, concise manner, but a little too brief in some instances. The binding however was so poor that the book completely fell apart before I got through with Chapter 2. The rating is solely for content, not construction. 5 stars (The book to have, for beginers+++) - I am a fairly new boat owner with a twenty-four foot inboard. Kudos for Mr. Low in writing a fun, easy to understand book which helped me understand the dinamics at work when you are on the water. This book helped me in to this new journey, with practical advice. It is for the beginer, but comes with ideas and processes that one needs to understand, and remember, even when experienced. Thank you Mr. Low for being there with a great introduction to boat handling, and for keeping it simple to understand. Other books I have purchased get too wordy and use trade terminoligy that I sometimes don't understand. This book got my thumbs up; you woun't regret it if you are a beginer. 5 stars (great book for beginers...) - I recently purchased a 24 foot boat with an inboard engine. I wanted to be more familiar with the process of mooring/tying up/docking. I found myself applying lessons from the book to my actual experience. The book is well illustrated and writen in a clear and simple (sometimes humerous) way. It is well spent money for the lesons you will learn and aply. My thanks to the author.
