Got a copy of Chapman's?


By law, every boat should should come with a laminated card tied to
someplace conspicuous, telling the new owner about the Chapman book. I have
a newer one, but while packing to move to my new house, I found the copy my
dad bought me in 1968. It's got a whole chapter on proper uniforms for
hanging out at the yacht club. What a stitch! :-)


We've got a 1942 edition on board our Chris. Some of the stuff is pretty
funny (Poly-whatsit fenders? Everyone knows fenders are made out of
hemp!), but the basics don't really change.
