About This Item

(Cape Town: J. C. Robinson Publications, 1990) 0620116633. 210 x 150 mm; pictorial wrappers; pp. 80 + (iv); liberally illustrated. Very slightly rubbed; light browning to outermost leaves. Very good condition. "Handbook for Skippers on the South African Coast is for all who go down to the sea in ships - regardless of size and shape. It offers the elementary facts relating to the sea and small craft. Not only will yachtsmen and all boat handlers find this work of use, but also those who dive, fishermen and researchers will benefit from it. How many marine archaeologists know the craft of navigation and are thus able to pin-point with scientific accuracy where and at what depth their sites are located? This publication covers coastal navigation, international shapes, lights and sound signals as well as radio procedures, meteorology and tides relating to the South African coast. It will [not] only promote safety at sea but will also help boat handlers pass their skipper's exams as is now required by the authorities." .
