Description

The third edition of this multilingual dictionary, specifically geared to yachtsmen, covers cruising terms in English, French, German, Dutch, Danish, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish and Greek. It has been thoroughly revised and updated to cover all the subjects the boater might need, including words for several thousand onboard items as well as the latest developments in electronic and mechanical equipment and the patterns of charter and flotilla sailing. Arranged in helpful subject categories for easy use, it is a unique, comprehensive reference for any boatowner venturing abroad. 'This is the kind of book no-one going to sea should be without' Lloyds List 'An invaluable aid for anyone cruising abroad' Kelvin Hughes 'All the yachtie has to do is point and grunt' Water Craft "No boat heading north, east or south should be without it' Yachting Monthly
