More Good Boats

International Marine Pub. Co

This edition of Taylor's popular book is revised in both text and drawings, in part to extend the treatment for the first time to powerboats as well as sailboats. With a smaller, more convenient trim size, 64 more pages, new drawings, and a lower price, Knowing the Ropes is better than ever. Roger Taylor lends his lifetime of seagoing experience to boaters of all skill levels, describing-with the help of Kathy Bray's drawings-every aspect of ropework aboard: how to choose it, use it, care for it, knot it, coil it, whip it, marry it, haul on it, and reef and lash with it.

Since it was first published, more than 25 years ago, The Elements of Seamanship by Roger C. Taylor, has been read and re-read by thousands of beginner and experienced boaters alike. Now it can be read again in this new updated and expanded edition from Flat Hammock Press. The book is a no-nonsense, straightforward and witty explanation of the practical sea sense gained by the author in his more than 70 years at sea. The 128-page paperback contains five simple chapters, a series of appendixes, a bibliography and an index. This new Third Edition includes the appendix "Keeping a Civil Tongue at Sea" which was in the original hardcover edition. "The Elements of Seamanshiphas always been my favorite seamanship book," says editor Bob McKenna. "It is the essential nautical reference. We asked Roger for the rights to republish it and he agreed to update it for us."
