The Norton Boater's Log - An Innovative Log, Guest Register, and Boat's Data Manual (Paperback, Rev. 2nd ed)

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.
