This title features 1,500 all-colour photos, charts and drawings. More than ever, boaters need a single comprehensive reference that combines the best traditions of seamanship with cutting-edge practices, gear, and technology.

This 67th revised edition is fully updated and enhanced in fundamental ways. Key additions include a new chapter on inboard diesel and gasoline engines; a complete integration of the tools and techniques of electronic navigation with Chapman's unsurpassed treatment of traditional chart-and-compass piloting skills; and the latest information on new anchor designs, safety gear, rope, hardware, and communications. You'll also find information about tides, aids to navigation and more. Anyone who sets forth on the water needs this indispensable volume.
