The Boating Bible

The Essential Handbook for Every Sailor

by Jim Murrant

The Boating Bible contains all the essential information sailors need in one easy-to-use volume. The book instructs the reader in all the skills necessary to be able to sail competently, starting with a basic explanation of the structure of a sailing boat and the best way to set up a boat for sailing followed by a detailed discussion of the theory and practice of sailing. The practical side of sailing is emphasized.

Navigation is comprehensively considered: traditional methods of navigating are described as are the more modern electronic methods. An important emphasis in the book is safety, both in the construction and use of boats, and in the precautions and safety aids that should be carried and how to use them. This handbook also includes comprehensive coverage of how to react in emergencies. There are complete checklists for equipment and tools needed on board, and a detailed dictionary of boating terms.
