Inevitable binocular watchers will murmur appreciatively and even your crew will be impressed. Perfect.For the cognoscenti, those who know all, this fine book can be used for everything from a chock for a deck-stepped mast, a wedge for propping open a broken hatch, to slapping a wayward crew member into shape.
