Synopsis:

Experts agree that boating conditions in this part of the world are unique; Power and Sail has been specially written for New Zealand yachtsmen and it describes these local conditions in detail. Whether the reader is an enthusiastic be-ginner or an experienced hand wanting to complete his boatmaster's course, he will find this book invaluable. It can be browsed through at leisure for new ideas or it can be used in practice, to add to experience already gained. In comprehensive chapters such subjects as power boats, yachting, navigation, distress, emergency and search procedures, and the rules of the sea are all clearly explained with many diagrams and photographs. A detailed index makes in-ormation readily available. Boating is one of New Zealand's most popular sports in which almost everyone has a chance to participate, and where knowledge and skills play a big part. Power and Sail is for all those who wish to increase their enjoyment of this very exciting but demanding pastime.
