Chapman, Flying the Flag.
 

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.

If Annapolis is lighter, that would be a positive benefit, right there!

Thanks

I think it weighs about half as much.

Half the weight, half the knowledge, and half the value.

A weighty tome can always be used as kindling, lighter, half as much.

Free advice is always a good value if worth anything at all.
