| Celestial Navigation for Yachtsmen
Product# 460766605
Selling for $12.95
"There is a deep mystery and profound satisfaction to finding one's position on earth by reference to the sun and stars. That is why, Loran and GPS notwithstanding, there will always be room on a boater's shelf for a manual of celestial navigation--especially one so unintimidating as this. Since 1967, Celestial Navigation for Yachtsmen has been the best-known, best-loved primer on the subject. It successfully teachers sailors who have been demoralized by bigger, more expensive books. Abstaining from theory, it concentrates on the cookbook techniques needed to obtain and work any heavenly sight. Among other changes, this edition substitutes the Nautical Almanac for the Air Almanac, and shows how to construct plotting sheets and advance a line of position for a running fix." |

| Heart of Glass
Product# 460766778
Selling for $16.95
"Nine out of ten sailors today own sturdy, often beautiful, fiberglass craft. Fiberglass brought boating to the non-rich, but the history of that revolution has never been told. Daniel Spurr rectifies this omission with his affectionate account of the fiberglass boat, from its earliest incarnation in World War II to the present. Spurr profiles landmark designs that set the standards in the used-boat market and introduces the vivid personalities who invented the world of boating we know today." |
