Customer Reviews
Incredible new edition!
Okay, I admit it. I am a little biased in my review. You see, the author is my dad.
He really poured his heart and soul into completely revising this bible of boating over a year and a half. It shows, and this is a must-have for every boater, whether you're a beginner or expert. I have been boating with Chuck since I was five years old, and I still learn new things every time I pick up Chapman.
Chapman Piloting and Seamanship
I can't say enough about the usefulness of this manual. Whether you're 18 or 60, a novice or old salt, this book is not just fact filled, but also a pretty good read, thanks to the almost 100 year legacy of the primary authors.
I bought new the 66th edition hardcover.
I've been boating since I was a 16 year old Boy Scout seeking my Canoeing merit badge, including an enlistment in the US Coast Guard and empployment in unlimited hydroplane and offshore powerboat racing.
I find this book to be the ultimate reference.
Buy It. Now.
A Must Have
The Boater's Bible! This is the book you pull out during those long winter months between boating seasons. A thorough introduction and excellent reference.
