Customer Reviews

One Minute Guide
The OMG is a required text in the United States Power Squadron's Seamanship class. It was chosen because it provides a clear and concise description of the COLREGS (Regulations for avoiding collisions at sea). Every boater should have a copy, read it, and read every couple of years thereafter.

Well Written
This is a well written guide to the "Rules of the Road. The book not only gives you the rules as written, but explains them in a narrative way and also provides pictures to help better understand the rule being discussed. This book also satisfies the requirement for vessels over 12 meters in length to carry a copy of the Rules on board. It's a great teaching aid and every boater should take the time to learn the "Rules of the Road", this book makes it painless.
