Book excerpt: Excerpt from Power Boat Hand Book The average beginner, or the new boat owner, usually has many doubts and fears as to his ability to operate and navigate his first power boat. When confronted with the many rules, regulations and requirements of boating, he often thinks the game is more than he bargained for, and unless he is, or has been, a boat and water lover from boyhood days, he is apt to join the rocking chair fleet of the near-by club and watch his newly acquired ship swinging at anchor. On the other hand, the real boat and water lover starts in, no matter what comes, and the outcome usually is a mastery of the first rules and men are not made in a day - in fact, some are never made, possibly because they start in where the good boatmen leave off; that old proverb, Tools rush in where angels fear to tread should be styled "Fools sail where boatmen quail." To answer a question that is often put to many boat operators by a prospective beginner - "What should I know to properly run my own boat?" - the first answer should always be "horse sense" and its general use. Most anyone has at some time or another driven a horse, usually with a great deal of pleasure to himself and not much harm to the horse. If the new boat driver would use the same amount of care with his new boat as he did, or would with the horse, it would be easy sailing for everyone, but he wont, so here goes. The beginner should not% attempt to start in with anything larger than the average 30-footer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
