Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Graham ParrishIllustrations. (illustrator). First Edition. Hardcover. First Edition. The Shell Guide to Yacht Navigation. I address this book to the weekend sailor who wants to graduate from his Wayfarer or Boston whaler in an estuary and go further afield. It is intended to lift the veil of mystique which surrounds the navigator's art and show that making a coastal or even offshore passage without undue worry or delay is simpler than most cross-country trips on B-roads in the family jalopy. My approach is to instruct by recalling my own experience of navigating cruising and racing boats in many waters for nearly half a century. Illustrations. Illustrated laminated boards. 132 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
