Boating Books

Recommended Posts

While I was reading up on some american boats recently I stumbled across two threads where a person replying quoted a must have book. One was in regards to the inner workings of a boat and the other was for handling a boat.

I read a few reviews which were really positive so I took the plunge.

The first book is Capmans piloting hand book. This is the book that motivated me to post this thread. Here is some info on it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapman_Piloting

I am only 20% or so in but what I have read has taught me a lot. I can't rate it enough.

The other book I purchased was the Boat Owners Mechanical and Electrical handbook. https://www.amazon.com.au/Boatowners-Mechanical-Electrical-Manual-Essential-ebook/dp/B006QA720O

I haven't started this one yet but have high hopes!

Now you have bought it, you can set up a rent out scheme to AFO members🤭

Hows the boat sale going?

The first book is on my kindle however the handbook is hard back. Happy to lend. ☺

No hits on boat just yet. Ad expires on 19th and after that I'll keep her. Looking real good after the detail.

After I had mine detailed, around every 10 weeks I hand polish it and 18 months later still looks great.
