"Angling Boats"

- A guide to boats, boat handling and boat ownership

This book is now out of print . If I can find a publisher that is interested in taking on a reprint, there may be a second edition. However there are copies on the second-hand market if you ask around. Here is more about the book....

There have been many books written about boating, and many books written about boat angling – but none about owning and running a small boat written with the requirements of boat anglers in mind. Anglers use their boats very differently from other boating enthusiasts, yet many of the fundamental principles of boat handling, safety and terminology are the same. On the other hand, some of the knowledge required is specific to the sport of boat angling. This book brings together all the subjects of interest to anglers moving into the world of small boat ownership, or to the amateur boat owner. Read independent reviews here.

The book covers the following subjects:

• Why buy a boat
• Types of boat to chose from
• Where to keep your boat
