Book Description
Just like a child's name, there is a story behind every name on a boat's transom or bow. BOAT NAMING MADE SIMPLE by Susan D. Artof organizes 1000s of these names into a humorous & entertaining volume. Chapters include stories surrounding ships of legend, naming categories such as astrological names, names of sex, lives & vices, food names, funny names, romantic names & evil names. The author feels that boat naming goes beyond the arrangement of letters, to become an identity that follows both the boat & its skipper for as long as the vessel floats. What makes BOAT NAMING MADE SIMPLE unique is the historical review of boating including stories behind famous vessels like BEAGLE, ARGO, BOUNTY, DISCOVERY, & the SANTA MARIA. The author has researched sea lore & readers will learn about the stories of DAVY JONES, NEPTUNE, ATLANTIS & POSEIDON. In addition, the book examines contemporary stories behind the AMERICA'S CUP as well as the ill fated 1979 FASTNET RACE. There is so much more packed into this little book than just names, & it is a welcome addition to one's library to be read again & again. This is the first of many BOATING MADE SIMPLE SERIES books produced by THE CENTER PRESS, ISBN 0-9626888-2-7 $10.95 paperback/144 pgs. 5 3/8" x 8 3/8".

The Art of Boat Names
Author: Laurie Churchman
Publisher: McGraw Hill Professional
ISBN: 0071591435
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
Shouldn’t your boat’s name look as distinctive as your boat? A well-chosen and well-designed name on a transom or topsides is the finishing touch and creates the ultimate first impression for any boat. Your boat’s name is the single most highly visible clue to your nautical interests and sensibilities. Whether the name is whimsical (Y-Knot), classical (Terpsichore), irreverent (Aquaholic), mythical (Valkyrie), sly (For Sail), romantic (Wayfarer), or full of attitude (Bite Me), it won’t communicate your message without an effective design. Choose the lettering and graphic style that best expresses your boating aspirations and personality. Communicate your choices to a letterer, vinyl lettering shop, or a designer. Browse 1,500 boat names and explore resources for expanded research. Take a visual tour through the history of boat naming and across a seascape of boat transoms and topsides. Work with hand-painted, gold-leaf, vinyl or lighted display lettering.

Tactics Made Simple
Author: Jon Emmett
Publisher: Fernhurst Books Limited
ISBN: 1912177889
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Olympic gold medallist and multiple world champion, Paul Goodison, explains why this book is important if you want to win races. He says: "To win sailboat races you need to sail the boat fast. This comes down to hours on the water training and tuning – there are few shortcuts to hours of practising on the water. To consistently win races you need to sail fast and smart – making the right decisions to sail the best course. If you are not the fastest boat, you are still able to win races and regattas by managing risk and sailing smart. This is where good tactics come in. But, unlike boatspeed, tactics may be learnt by thinking about each leg of the course and different situations from the comfort of your own home. Jon Emmett's new book, Tactics Made Simple, is a great tool to help fast track this learning." This book explains simply, through hundreds of diagrams, what tactics can be applied around the race track. Individual boats in each scenario are given names so that you can easily understand what they are doing. Individual chapters take you around the race course, from before you get on the water, through the pre-start, start, different legs and manoeuvres. Each section contains detailed advice for the beginner, intermediate and advanced sailor so you can just look at the level of tactics relevant to you. Ideal for dinghy sailors, there is also a wealth of advice that will benefit yachtsmen. This is a practical way to improve your racing results, whether starting out, moving up the club circuit or competing at national level and beyond. Originally published by Wiley Nautical as Be Your Own Tactics Coach.
