Review
"...will help (my wife and I) come to grips with the intricacies of boat docking. The style of the writing is wonderful and the examples quite useful." - -- John B., Michigan
"Any boater - well, almost any - can handle his boat reasonably well in open waters. The real crunch comes when he or she has to bring the craft into a pier or wharf. Boat Docking may be a small volume, but it contains a wealth of information on docking and undocking a boat.
"Detailed procedures covering a wide variety of situations are followed by a thorough explanation of the forces and effects of wind, current, and propeller action - even experienced skippers can learn from this book."
-- Elbert S. Maloney, Chapman Piloting and Seamanship
"Charles - received your book late last week. WOW. Some of the techniques you have outlined I have known, but you do such a fantastic job in explaining the physics behind why they work or won't work. As an addition, your section on tie ups with respect to docking I found invaluable... Thank you, Charles, for taking the time to implant your wisdom and experience for those of us who need it." -- John H., Colorado
"I am impressed with the scope of the book - I don't know of another with this treatment at the same level." -- Tim Ridge, New Zealand, Boat Books Ltd.
"I heartily recommend picking up a copy of this book. You'll be able to thrill the 'dockwatchers' (you know the ones I mean) with your handling prowess and become the envy of everyone in your marina... It is really very well written. You have a way of making 'obtuse' concepts understandable, and explaining why boats behave as they might." Bob F., Missouri -- Bob F., Missouri
"I really like it! ... I am quite impressed. It is very well put together. Very attractive format and excellent graphics ... I like the whole premise of the book ... I think your book hits the mark." -- Wayne M. Hope, NavAid computer program, Alberta
"I would have sent this message sooner but I could not put the book down. Your book is definitely a winner... The way you have explained the many factors and procedures is a real enjoyable learning experience." - -- Jack H., West Virginia
"Not only is it how to but it explains a lot of why the boat handles the way it does in given situations. Nice job. I particularly like the sense of humor it was written with... I'm on my second read and... I've learned a lot from it." - -- Eric S., California
