John Rousmaniere
The Norton Boater's Log
An Innovative Log, Guest Register, and
Boat's Data Manual
An all-in-one guide, this log
includes complete, clear listings of the crucial routines, equipment, safety gear,
and other data that every skipper must have on hand.
This unique log will help make every
boat owner a reliable captain, a sound seafarer,
and a good host. It combines the features of a boat's customized manual with a boat
owner's personal diary and guest register, striking
a balance between practicality, flexibility, and thoroughness that all boaters will value.
The log provides ample space to record the complete daily record of a boat's cruises and
activities, including entries for course steered, speed, distance traveled, weather, tides, barometric
pressure, and personal observations. It features tricks of the pilot's
trade, those easily forgotten mathematical shortcuts to coastal
navigation. A new safe cruising section provides concise
descriptions of how to radio for help or rescue a person
overboard; and, for those who love the traditions of flying flags afloat,
a guide to flag etiquette has been added. This handsome
log and quick-reference resource will become an essential
companion aboard every yacht afloat.
John Rousmaniere, one of America's leading nautical
authorities, has logged more than thirty-five thousand miles of
blue-water sailing, all of it thoroughly recorded. He is the
author of The Annapolis Book of Seamanship and Fastnet, Force
10 (Norton) and is host of the Annapolis Book of Seamanship Video
Series.
Completely revised edition with
additional features and a new foreword.
