{"product_id":"boat-docking-close-quarters-maneuvering-for-small-craft","title":"Boat Docking (Close Quarters Maneuvering for Small Craft)","description":"Boat Docking (Close Quarters Maneuvering for Small Craft) is a book about how to dock a boat!\nIt contains many concrete examples of boat docking, from the elementary to the advanced, and also has chapters discussing the theory of close quarters maneuvering. The book is comprehensive, yet achieves its depth using language and tone which are accessible and minimally technical.\nAlthough Boat Docking can be read through from start to finish, each of its various sections also stands alone, so items of interest may be referred to individually.\nBoat Docking contains an \"Overview\" section, followed by a chapter describing every basic docking example imaginable, and most of the esoteric ones. Other chapters explain the interactions of the hull with water and air, how a boat steers (it's not completely straightforward!), how to use lines and fenders (there is more to good line work than one would think), and then there is a short section on the psychology and sociology of docking. Don't worry, it's fun to read! The conclusion draws an intriguing parallel between boat docking and affairs of the heart, using an extended metaphor on \"close quarters maneuvering\"!\nIf there's anything important to say about close quarters maneuvering, you'll find it in Boat Docking.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0968232701\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0968232701.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Low, Charles T.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43261791567933,"sku":"BVV.0968232701.VG","price":5.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0968232701-0.jpg?v=1781040911","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/boat-docking-close-quarters-maneuvering-for-small-craft","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
