The Sailing Dictionary

by Joachim Schult

Translated by Barbara Webb; 2 ed. revised by Jeremy Howard-Williams

"The Sailing Dictionary is an attempt to keep those who buy, equip, and sail boats abreast of the specialized jargon so they can better communicate. The dictionary has more than 4,000 terms, including definitions of well-established words and phrases as well as new terms resulting from modern navigation electronics, grand prix racing, and other developments since the first edition was published in 1981.

"The dictionary has three features that enhance its reference use: a list of abbreviations of frequently used terms in the text, drawings of flags of the International Code Signals, and drawings of International Association of Lighthouse Authority marks on channel markers, the latter two on the endpapers ... (It) is an essential purchase for libraries building strong sailing collections." ALA Booklist

"Not just a reference book and glossary, this invaluable 330-page manual ... has plenty of how-to information for on-board reference." Dolphin Book Club
