The Adlard Coles Book of EuroRegs for Inland Waterways: A Pleasure Boater's Guide to CEVNI

Description

In order to safely navigate Europe's major waterway routes, all boaters need to know CEVNI - the Waterway Code - whose rules, signs, symbols and signals are understood and used by bargemasters and working vessels of all nationalities. This book has been written especially for pleasure craft users, setting out the rules in an easy-to-follow handy pocket-book format. It covers waterway signs, signals, flags and lights, markings on vessels, procedures in tunnels, locks and weirs, overtaking rules, berthing, and explains buoyage and landmarks - and for this 3rd edition there is a handy Quick Reference section grouping signs by colour for easy identification. The book forms the basis of the RYA test for the International Certificate of Competence and is accepted by European countries as the obligatory rules book that must be carried on board all small craft.

Marian Martin can't remember a time when she wasn't around boats of some kind, but it needed an introduction to inland waterways to turn her into an addict. She is a regular contributor to Practical Boat Owner, Motor Boat and Yachting, Classic Boat and Fluviale (French). She is the author of European Waterways (Adlard Coles Nautical).

"Essential for anyone on a private boat in Europe, it will also be of considerable interest to those taking cruises on hotel ships who wish to know more about the sometimes mysterious signs seen alongside navigations." * Waterways World (May 2009) *
