About this product
Product Information
From an author who has more than twenty books on powerboats to his credit, who is currently writing a fast boat operations manual for the U.S. Coast Guard, and who once served as the personal powerboat race consultant to King Hussein of Jordan, comes Fast Powerboat Seamanship. Roderick Dag Pike has more than 50 years of experience in boats of all types including high-speed racing boats, lifeboats, and radical new designs. Fast Powerboat Seamanship will be the definitive work on operating boats from 30-100 feet long at speeds of 25 - 100 knots and higher. The market for this book is sizable and underserved. For every sailboat sold, ten fast boats are purchased, yet there is no definitive guide available for handling these boats. But why a book on fast boat seamanship? Is it that different from regular powerboat seamanship? The obvious difference is that everything happens much more quickly at 25-60 knots than at 8 knots. But there are many other differences, too. How does a large, fast boat handle while planing at 30 knots? How should it be steered through waves? How do higher speeds interfere with navigation? How do you dock a boat of this nature? How do you control a tight turn on the water at highway speeds? What about hull integrity, ballast tanks, trim, and stability? Ultimately, there are many differences between ordinary powerboats and their faster cousins. The focus of the book will be for boat owners who already have some experience boating and who want to learn more and understand the finer points of fast boat handling and navigating, safety and security, and the environment in which they are operating. Additionally, it will cover topics such as hull design and construction, engines and propulsion, operating at sea, seamanship in powerboats, coping with extremes (such as rough seas, storms, etc.), tides and currents, collision avoidance, communications, and much more. This book will include hints and tips throughout and anecdotes, photos, and drawings demonstrating particular situations that warrant additional detail. This will be the ultimate guide for fast powerboat seamanship.

I think this item (which was one of four bought at the same time as part of a special offer) had to be re-despatched. I told them it didn't arrive with the other books so they made arrangements to get it to me ASAP. They said it would be despatched within 48 hours and it was despatched within 24. I had it on my doorstep in 3 days, in very good condition as described. Very happy with the price and the service, highly recommended seller. Very professional.
