About this title

Synopsis

Navigate reliably by sea and tide with practical guidance

This non-fiction handbook, Power Boat Hand Book, offers practical instruction on currents, tides, and safe passage. It explains how favorable or conflicting currents affect travel, how to time departures, and how to interpret tide tables and weather conditions at a glance. It also covers essential equipment and techniques for accurate soundings and depth readings, including how to use a hand-lead and when to switch to sounding machines.

• Learn how to read currents and tides to plan routes and expect change.
• Master traditional hand-lead soundings and the basics of depth measurement.
• Understand wind, waves, and sea states, plus how they relate to safe navigation.
• Get guidance on using Sailing Directions, Light Lists, and notices to mariners for up-to-date information.

Ideal for readers of practical sailing and power boating who want clear, actionable navigational basics that don’t rely on guesswork.
