This dictionary is a nautical terms guide to help those who are just getting their feet wet in sail boating, power boating, and many water sports, so you know what their lingo means. Boating has its own language to describe various functions and features of a boat. I hope this dictionary will help you decode the mystery words used in boat literature, salespeople, and magazines.
This is not the complete dictionary of ALL nautical terms ever used but covers over 8500 of the most likely terms used by recreational boaters today, and over time.
I hope this dictionary will help you as much as I enjoyed all the research of the terms behind it. If you see an error or missing definition, please let us know. I release updated versions of the Amazon Kindle eBook periodically, so you'll get free book updates about four times a year.
