Definitive Book on Boat Handling

Have you always wanted to enjoy the fun of boating but did not know where to start? This is it. Start Powerboating Right is informative and enjoyable to read with great illustrations that make potentially confusing concepts easy to understand. Topics emphasize the skills you need to boat with confidence including safe boat operation, pre/post trip checklist, docking, close quarters maneuvering, anchoring, person in water recovery and high speed turns and stops. No wonder this is the text for the nation's first and only hands-on, on-the-water boat handling course (see www.uspowerboating.com). I have successfully used this book to teach hundreds of new boaters at SUNY Maritime College. Thousands of students have gotten on the water with this book and you will too.
