A Must Have August 22, 2009

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.
Incredible new edition! September 4, 2009

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.

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.

Not much to say about the standard in piloting & seamanship for almost 100 years. Should be required reading for all recreational mariners. If you own a boat, you should own, and have read this book in addition to your continuing boating education.

This has to be one of the most comprehensive books I have ever read. It has everything one needs to make in the boating world. It even prepares you for the Captains test. Good no Excellent book.
