A practical how-to guide to handling and
avoiding powerboat problems and
emergencies
With no secondary method of propulsion, poorer
stability profiles, and enough speed to get
themselves into trouble fast, powerboats are far more
susceptible to emergencies than sailboats. Confident
Powerboating addresses your safety concerns, providing a detailed guide to avoiding
problems, coping with difficult situations, and responding
to emergencies effectively. Also, each section contains
several anecdotes of problems encountered and
resolved (or not).
