Roger C. Taylor

Knowing the Ropes - McGrawHill Trade - 160 pages

This edition of Taylor's popular book is revised in both text and drawings, in part to extend the treatment for the first time to powerboats as well as sailboats. With a smaller, more convenient trim size, 64 more pages, new drawings, and a lower price, Knowing the Ropes is better than ever. Roger Taylor lends his lifetime of seagoing experience to boaters of all skill levels, describing-with the help of Kathy Bray's drawings-every aspect of ropework aboard: how to choose it, use it, care for it, knot it, coil it, whip it, marry it, haul on it, and reef and lash with it.
