Product Description:
THE Essential Guide for All Boaters!
With millions of copies sold, Chapman Piloting has been the leading reference for both power and sail boaters for nearly 100 years. Now this absolutely essential guide—large and beautifully produced, with 928 pages, 1,500 full-color illustrations and charts, and exploded views and cutaways—is thoroughly updated with all the latest information on federal laws, regulations, and fees. In fact, NO competing book is more current. Additionally, Chapman covers the newest technology—especially in the area of communications and navigation electronics equipment, such as GPS, radar, depth sounders/fish finders, chart plotters, and other gear. Even the illustrations—photos, sketches, chart plots—have been freshened up and improved, as has all the contact information, from postal and e-mail addresses to websites.
Virtually anyone who puts a craft on water needs this vital information about boating rules, weather, tide, currents, and navigation. Here are all the facts about special seamanship for powerboats, small craft, and boats under sail; anchoring, communications, and navigation; inland boating, marlinespike seamanship, and boating customs. Decade after decade, it's the book that boaters reach for, the pilot's best mate, and an absolute necessity on board.
Chapman's is:
* The standard text for private boating schools throughout the U.S.
* The officially recommended book for the U.S. Coast Guard's boating education classes
* The guide chosen by the United States Power Squadrons

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Chapman Piloting and Seamanship
My husband ordered this book for his brother who recently purchased a boat.Being a Jr. Navigator in the Power Squadron, he knows how important it is to operate a boat responsibly. He still references his original Chapmans after many years of boating.My husband wanted his brother to have a new edition, so I used my 1 click to order the book. Amazon mailed it directly to my brother in law in Alabama and it took less than a week.

We love Amazon!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This book is the bible of boating.
Anyone that has or is planning on getting a boat should be required to read
through this text.It may save lives.It will add to your enjoyment of
boating by teaching you about seamanship.A must read for any one who will
be on the water for recreational purposes.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Updated version of the old standby
As expected, this 65th edition is an updated version of the tried-and-true Chapman's.The photos and examples are current, and the plain language is easy to read and understand.It would be nice if everyone on the water had a good look at this book before untying and heading out onto the water.If you're a rag-head (or and aspiring one), supplementing this book with the Annapolis Book of Seamanship for a deeper dive into sailing-related detail is a really good idea.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Book
This is a very large and complete manual for looking up various subjects. Full color, nice text good size pages and easy to understand. I saved half the store price buying it on Amazon. If you don't like it you can always use it for an anchor.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Must have!
This book Chapman Piloting & Seamanship 65th Edition (Chapman Piloting, Seamanship and Small Boat Handling) was recommended to us when we bought our first boat some 14 years ago, and has become a bible for boating to us. We've given it ever since to good friends in need of some fundamental boating instruction, and they all love it. Not all information might be useful for everybody, but everybody will find some valuable information for their specific boating needs and skills.
It's fun to read, easy ... Read More
