About the Author
Charlie Wing received his Ph.D. in oceanography from MIT, where he later worked as a research scientist. Since then his career has been explaining how things work--teaching physics at Bowdoin College, founding Americas first two do-it-yourself house-building schools (the Shelter Institute and Cornerstone), hosting a PBS series on energy conservation, and writing a dozen top-selling books on home building, home maintenance, and remodeling. Wing lived aboard a cruising sailboat for six years, during which time he wrote the first edition of this book on a solar-powered Macintosh computer. He is the author of four other IM books.
From the Back Cover
Baffled? With boating traffic on the rise, and no lane markers or yield signs out there, it's no wonder. Enter the rules the International Rules of the Road and the U.S. inland rules, that is.
The rules are a wonderful invention, full of common sense, and flexible enough to cover every boatings situation. But they were written by maritime bureaucrats, and they need interpretation.
If you think you know the rules, try these questions (answers inside):
Do the rules apply when more than two boats meet?
What rights are enjoyed by kayaks, rowboats, and personal watercraft?
For that matter, is there any such thing as "right of way"?
The One-Minute Guide to the Nautical Rules of the Road understands that boaters want to go boating, not
memorize rules. Here's what you'll find:
-a one-of-a-kind quick-reference situation guide on the inside cover (why not laminate a copy for your helmstation?)
-a brief overview of the rules' intent that will tell you all you need to know
-the full text of the official rules with plain-English translations
The Rules of the Road have never been so clear before. Safe boating.
