They do not teach any real seamanship, which is what is required even on the harbour, but particularly when one goes offshore and is entirely on one's own.

Used throughout America as a textbook in sailing schools and Power Squadrons, it thoroughly and clearly covers the fundamental and advanced skills of modern sailing. Rousmaniere emphasizes the standard skills and proven methods that eliminate error and confusion, ensure security in emergencies, and allow every sailor more time for enjoyment on the water.

Beginning with the ocean’s origin, the author describes its geography, circulation, climate, and meteorology. From waves and breakers he takes us through ship dynamics to strategies for heavy weather seamanship and emergency procedures. The author, William G. Van Dorn, confesses to having a “lifelong love affair with the sea, whether swimming, surfing, diving, sailing, or—for the past forty years—just studying its many moods and facets.” Readers of this book will find that his “studying” has yielded an exceedingly rich trove of knowledge about the dynamics of the sea and ways in which men and women who go to sea can handle its various conditions.According to Edmond L. Mandin, retired marine superintendent for American President Lines, Oceanography and Seamanship has a place in the master’s research library of every APL containership. “It is considered to be the primer for APL deck officers in the strategies of heavy weather seamanship.” This book is an outstanding resource for both the recreational sailor and those in the shipping business who would like to learn more about the behavior of the ocean and the response of the craft that ply it.Originally slanted toward cruising yachtsmen, the book has gained a solid reputation among commercial fishermen, charter boat operators, and shipping companies. It is a reference at maritime academies and is used as a textbook in colleges and secondary schools.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schiffer Publishing Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32164933206116,"sku":"9780870334344","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0090\/5072\/products\/oceanography-and-seamanship-2nd-edition-14619199471716.jpg?v=1628564867"},{"product_id":"navigator-s-notebook-a-workbook-for-marine-navigation","title":"Navigator’s Notebook: A Workbook for Marine Navigation","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis guide is intended for professional mariners and for those studying for the US Coast Guard license examinations.

It has therefore been agreed that Training Centres that hold current MCA approval (ie have completed MCA initial or re-approval within the last 5 years) to deliver the full programme and use the same personnel, need only submit course material for the desk assessment, and additional QA procedures if required, to gain approval to deliver this updating course. The updating course approval will be limited to the same re-approval date as the full course approval. Training Centres wanting approval to deliver updating courses should approach the Marine Office which granted the approval for the full course. Training centres that wish to offer updating training only will need to seek MCA approval accordingly. In such instances, the existing requirements for full course delivery must be taken into account, ie staff to learner ratio, facilities and equipment, and conduct of training.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eContents Listing\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection One Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection Two Fire prevention and firefighting course criteria\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection Three Fire prevention and firefighting updating training course criteria\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection Four Tanker firefighting course criteria\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection Five Advanced firefighting course criteria\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection Six Advanced firefighting updating training course criteria\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnnex A MCA approval of short courses\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnnex B STCW Code:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(i) Table A-VI\/1-2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(ii) Tables A-V\/1-1-1 and A-V\/1-2-1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(iii) Table A-VI\/3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnnex C Instructor\/assessor qualification and experience requirements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnnex D Specimen certificates:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(i) Fire prevention and firefighting\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(ii) All four basic safety courses\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(iii) Fire prevention and firefighting updating training\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(iv) Tanker firefighting\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(v) Advanced firefighting\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(vi) Advanced firefighting updating training\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnnex E Advanced firefighting updating training self declaration form\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNumber of Pages: 47\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished Date: January 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBook Height: 300 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBook Width: 210 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeight: 0.4 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreview: Yes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 1856097868\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Witherby Seamanship International","offers":[{"title":"Hardcopy","offer_id":43738545389813,"sku":"9781856097864","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"eBook","offer_id":43738545422581,"sku":"9781856097864EB","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0090\/5072\/files\/mntb-fire-courses-criteria-2nd-edition-1206415520.jpg?v=1763490159"},{"product_id":"the-admiralty-manual-of-seamanship-13th-edition-2023","title":"The Admiralty Manual of Seamanship, 13th Edition 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe latest edition of The Admiralty Manual of Seamanship covers the seamanship requirements of today’s modern navy, retaining the principles and underlying knowledge gained through years of experience.
