Part
2
Okay, now you’ve got a boat, so how do you run it? Part 2 gives you the nittygritty
on powerboats—getting the crew aboard, starting the engine, handling
the boat around the harbor, and keeping your crew happy.
The Basics of Operation
Not only do you learn how to make your boat move in this part, but also how
to make it stay put. There’s also a surprising amount to know about anchoring,
which we’ll explore in Chapter 8. The use of ropes aboard—don’t forget
that boaters call them “lines”—is also in this section.
And if you’re into pollution-free propulsion that’s good for the cardiovascular
system as well as the soul, don’t bypass the chapter on “paddle-power.”
