What's the French term for a diesel glow plug? What's the Dutch word for a winch handle? The answers are in this book. Soundings: An Interdisciplinary Journal If you're planning to cruise abroad you'll want this book on board. It's a multilingual dictionary that covers cruising terms in English, French, German, Dutch, Danish, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, and Greek. It covers all the subjects the boater might need including words for several thousand onboard items. Latitudes & Attitudes Let's face it: the lexicon of yachting is tough enough in the native tongue. So, it strikes us as particularly brilliant that we can now cruise the world and be prepared to say seacock, halyard, or I need a tow in French, German, Dutch, Danish, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, and Greek. ... The book has also kept pace with innovations in the boating world and the labeled drawings of sailing rigs will be particularly helpful if you should find yourself capsized in Copenhagen, stern-to in Sardinia, or dead reckoning near Dominica.
