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. Read independent reviews here. You can preview a sample chapter Ropes and Knots here.
