I was unsure about flying the Stars n Stripes on a short sail down the
Intra-Coastal 2 or three weeks ago. So my son hauled out the Chapman:
Piloting and Seamanship when we got home.

"It is never wrong for an American crew to fly the Stars n Stripes"
Though there is an alternative. And Chapman was not pleased that we
flew it high on the aft stay - but admits it happens....

Can't remember seeing Chapman mentioned on this group.
Amazon has it used (of course...) THE reference for sailboaters
and power boaters.
