John Rousmaniere 
The Illustrated Dictionary of Boating Terms: 2000 Essential Terms for Sailors and Powerboaters (Revised Edition) 

“Written for the sailor, not the scholar. Rousmaniere leaves out the chaff and gives us just the wheat. Astonishingly comprehensive and slender enough to carry aboard.” —Don Casey, author of This Old Boat

From ‘abaft’ to ‘Zulu, ‘ including terms as new as ‘bowrider’ and as old as ‘starboard, ‘ here is the language of pleasure boating—clearly defined terms that today’s sailors and powerboaters rely on to make their way safely and happily upon America’s coastal waters.
