Fast Powerboat Seamanship by Dag Pike
A guide to handling and navigating fast boats. It covers topics such as hull design and construction, engines and propulsion, coping with extreme conditions, collision avoidance, and communications. It helps you learn to adjust to the faster pace of events at 25 to 100 knots, and understand the effects of high speed on boat handling.
