A very good collection of tid-bit type information on boats, designs, surveying, construction, safety equipment, emergency maneuvers (capsizing, running aground, fire, etc) weather, storm seamanship and heavy weather rigs that it would take the average sailor years of sailing on many different boats in a variety of situations to accumulate. The emphasis is on knowing what to look for or prethinking a potential situation to avoid trouble. There is a lot of good information in the book, and by the same token a lot of good info that should be there is missing. For example, after searching through the index, “Working Aloft,” “Injuries from Lines,” and “Running Rigging and Related Fittings,” I wasn’t able to find word one on inspecting rope (manila, cotton, nylon, etc.) for wear, and damage－and Jack, rope ain’t no minor detail on a sailing vessel!
