What's an iron?



Something you use to make sure your yacht club uniform looks crisp when
you go to dinner. Seriously...do you have a copy of the Chapman book from
the 1960s? Holy ****....


Believe it or not, I *do*. My father-in-law gave it to me from his vast
collection of "stuff" when I bought my first ocean type boat. It's worn,
oil and coffee stained and has a distinctive moldy odor.

I've purchased a couple of new editions over the years, but I keep his old
one for kicks. Next time I look at it, I'll note the edition.

Now ... a trivia question .... take a guess without looking it up ....

In what year was Charles Frederic Chapman's "Piloting, Seamanship and
Small Boat Handling" first published?

Eisboch


Wild guess: 1937
