Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - The Arts of the Sailor: Knotting, Splicing and Ropework
I bought this for my son - he just purchased his very first sailboat. He loved the info and that it is such a compact size - he can keep it on the boat for quick reference. Though not as complete as "The Ashley Book of Knots" it does cover the basics. Great for beginners!



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Missing arrows
A generally informative book, but.....
some of the directions refer to diagrams with arrows showing the direction of the rope. No such arrows!
Overall fair to good diagrams and interesting history, but I think I would have bought a different book had I known what was missing.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - The Arts of the Sailor
This book has some of the most clearly articulated and illustrated instructions I have ever encountered.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - This book should be owned by every sailor
