    The New Bible for Seamanship
  

*by S***B on Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2014*

The "Art of Seamanship" is a dense, treasure chest of knowledge and practical advice buttressed with on-the water stories to drive home the importance of Seamanship.  More importantly, it provides a pragmatic framework for thinking about your own level of seamanship with regard to how and where you boat (big or small, dayboating, coastal cruising, racing, or offshore) - and provides the insights for raising YOUR OWN skill set - to make sure you can get off the dock, have fun, stay safe, and get back home.While the book is rich in content and is set up like a classic text-book, it flows and reads like a succession of interesting articles.  The author's gift for writing, his lifelong passion for the thinking about and teaching the art of seamanship, and 30+ years of exerpience on the water in boats of all shapes and sizes make this a book that every boater should read, share, and have on their bookshelf.To provide some context for my review - I am a relatively new to sailing (past 4 years), but definitely have the bug and have jumped in with both feet reading all that I can, sailing on small boats, racing in club races, and participating in overnight cruises and races.  I've read through Annapolis (repeatedly), Chapmans, browsed Bowditch (more like an Encyclopedia rather than anything I'd read cover to cover), and have taken countless courses and seminars.  Ralph's book is as good or better than these - and since it is hot off the press, it contains material on topics like GPS, safety gear, and high-tech materials that are out of date in other books.  It goes deep into the "technical stuff" in some areas to augment topics - but you don't need an advanced degree to read and enjoy the book.  It makes you think about Seamanship in an honest and constructive way.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Still quite relevant
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2022*

Certain sections of this book are dated (eg Communications). However,  those topics that count (eg storm tactics) are well covered and serve as a useful reference. Thank you, Ralph Naranjo!
