Boating knowledge has never been this easy to acquire, at home or on the water.

The elements of seamanship are in your hands. In this handy little volume, Roger Siminoff shares the wisdom and practical experience he's earned the hard way--from years on the water.

More than 100 savvy tips and short essays on boating and seamanship distill Siminoff's hands-on boating knowledge into a compact, time-saving format. Every boater--power or sail, beginner or experienced--can benefit from his practical advice on
