Boating

Not Yet Rated

Boating by João Meireles is not the only book you should have about boats, but it should be the first.

João does not treat you like a dummy or an idiot like some introductory books, or overwhelm you with government regulations.

Instead, João talks about the boats themselves and how you may want to use them.

This is not always so obvious, an example of this in the Bible is when Jesus used a boat to talk to the multitudes.

João discusses each different kind of boat along with their uses, capabilities, limitations and costs.

Also covered are trailers, storage, maintenance, accessories and destinations.
