GETTING HELP . If ever help is needed, for any reason, everyone aboard must know what to do. If there is another vessel close by , a red flare (see P.20) is quick and usually effective, but the yacht?s VHF radio is the normal way to summon help. Do not try to operate the radio unless the skipper tells you or he is out of action – buy any crew member should be able to call for help, and must do so. The instructions for sending a distress call should be alongside the radio, but this is the important part: 1. Use Channel 16 and high power 2. Press the button on the microphone to speak – then release it after speaking. If it is a real emergency – call MAYDAY– MAYDAY – MAYDAY 3. When someone answers, tell them: WHO you are – Your yacht?s name. WHERE you are – You position. You should have some idea, and the GPS will show your latitude and longitude. WHAT the problem is –...

Ships in Scale magazine called our best-selling manual for the first-time kit-builder, Ship Modeling Simplified, a "Bible for the novice modeler." Model Ship Builder said "the only problem with this book is that it should have come out years ago." Now comes the next logical step, a book on building ship models without kits, form Edwin Leaf, past president and resident guru of the prestigious Philadephia Ship Model Society. Following the proven format of Ship Modeling Simplified, here is the first complete, step-by-step course in building model ships from scratch--everything from schooners and clipper ships to modern ocean-going freighters and steel warships.

Canoe country has a strong hold on the imagination. The conifers and rock-ribbed lakes of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and neighboring Quetico Provincial Park are still a remote wilderness where Cree, Ojibwe, and voyageurs once traveled in birch-bark canoes, where lynx, moose, and gray wolves still roam. It is a place and a dream, a source of enjoyment for the hundreds of thousands who have paddleda??or imagined paddlinga??a canoe through these distinctive waters. Writer Greg Breining and photographer Layne Kennedy have hefted their canoes over many a portage in both the BWCAW and the Quetico, and their new book, Paddle North, in words and full-color photos, inspires dreams of simple days out on the water and quiet nights at home in the woods. Meditations on map making and canoe building, on the rock-pine-water combination that defines the northland, on winter weather and forest fire are all accompanied by views of sparkling lakes and rocky cliffs, challenging portages,...

This gorgeous coffee table book is filled with ingenious interior design and furnishing ideas for all kinds of boats and other small living spaces. The book also gives an enticing peek through the portholes of the lives of people who live full time aboard boats from sunsets on your backyard deck to the ease of changing scenery at the set of your sail.

Bob Forsyth For me this has to be the book on traditional wooden-yacht construction to be published in over five decades. In some 518 salty and sawdust-laden pages there are lessons and new tricks for even the most horny-handed, time-served, and experienced exponent of this wonderful trade of ours. For the amateur interested in the more traditional side of things, this book will, I am sure, become their bible, and rightfully so. It is difficult to single out any one area of the book over the other, but I think that it would be worth buying for the appendices alone.
