Summary: Synopsis
Comment: The principles of seamanship are illuminated here in spare prose that will instruct beginning and experienced sailors alike. The language is deceptively simple and entertaining, deceptive because it distills such a wealth of advice. Other good books inclduing the other titles in the Seamanship Series, instruct in the details of piloting anchoring boat handling inhard weather and a sailor's other challenges. When you read The Elements of Seamanship, pause to visualize each situatino described, for that is the way the book is written. Do this and you will understand the thought processes of a good small-boat skipper, sail orpower. By all means avail yourself of books covering diesel engines, rigging, navigation and collision avoidance, but when the facts overwhelm their context, pull The Elements of Seamanship off the shelf and reread a few paragraphs. You'll learn a basic truth each time.
