With millions of copies sold, Chapman Piloting has been the leading reference for both power and sail boaters for nearly 100 years. Now this absolutely essential guide-large and beautifully produced, with 928 pages, 1,500 full-color illustrations and charts, and exploded views and cutaways-is thoroughly updated with all the latest information on federal laws, regulations, and fees. In fact, NO competing book is more current. Chapman even covers the newest technology-especially in the area of communications and navigation electronics equipment, such as GPS, radar, depth sounders/fish finders, chart plotters, and other gear. Even the illustrations-photos, sketches, chart plots-have been freshened up and improved, as has all the contact information, from postal and e-mail addresses to websites.

Virtually anyone who puts a craft on water needs this vital
information about boating rules, weather, tide, currents,
and navigation. Here are all the facts about seamanship for powerboats, small craft, and boats under sail; anchoring,
communications, and navigation; inland boating, marlinespike seamanship, and boating customs. Decade after decade, Chapman is the book that boaters reach for.
