From The Desk Of: David McLean
Dear Friend,
Since you’ve found this website I suppose it’s OK to let you know… “I love getting out there into the ocean and having a ball.” The truth is, I’m always on the internet looking for the latest secrets on how to have fun at sea and at the same time do it in safety. That’s what led me to put this website up. Let me explain…
While surfing around the internet, I stumbled upon something so fantastic that it immediately got my attention… In fact, I discovered something sooo amazing that at first I thought it was "too good to be true" like most things are.
You see, a few months ago, I was actually doing some research on Charles F. Chapman, one of the most well known and respected sailors in recent history. I noticed that most of his work was available and accounted for with the exception of one of his most important pieces of work ‘Seamanship Manual’.
Well, this got me curious and so I started digging a little deeper. I started sending off a few emails asking questions, but unfortunately every road I seemed to head down was a dead end… until a couple of weeks ago that is…
By a stroke of luck, I emailed my story to one of my favorite site’s webmasters… as it turned out he had an old copy of this difficult to find book - it was right under my damn nose. After numerous emails, I finally got him to mail me his copy.
I Uncovered One Of The Most Important Seamnaship Manuscripts Of All Time....
Even though it was first published in 1960 this book has the best boating instruction information I have ever seen.
In the 26 chapters here’s just a snippet of what you’ll learn:
- All about the different types of rigs and boats. Learn the terms of what some of the things you’ll be learning about. At first it might seem double dutch to you, but you’ll get the hang of it.
- What the ropes and lines on a boat are for. Discover what rope is used for what, also learn how to tie different knots which is paramount on any boat.
- Everything you need to know about piloting terms. Find out what is needed when out in the water in terms of…the rules and who to give way to and lots more.
- The various parts of rowing and sailing craft. Each one is a little different so you’ll need to know which one goes with which.
- How to use boats handled by oars. You’ll find out how to use the oars properly, so that you don’t end up tipping your boat into the drink.
- How to tie knots, hitches and splices. It’s one thing having rope on board, it’s another knowing what to do with it. Here, you’ll learn how to utilize your rope to it’s best advantage.
- Everything there is to know about regulations and equipment. Even out there on the ocean, there are rules and if you don’t follow them, you could be in trouble. Discover all about the equipment that you’ll be handling and how to use it.
And there’s loads more…
At this point, you might be wondering how you can get your hands on a copy…
Well here’s the good news.
After doing even more research (I told you I was totally mad about learning all about the sea) I have contacted the original copyright owners and gained permission to republish Charles F. Chapman’s complete work on this website.
The sea is my passion and I want to share it with as many people as possible. Believe it or not, I’ve decided to do something completely unheard of these days. I’m going to let you have this amazing manuscript for nothing.
It’s FREE… Yes 100% FREE
