Knots, Bends, and Hitches for Mariners
Published by International Marine/McGraw-Hill and richly illustrated with
200 fine drawings, this handy little how-to has something for every mariner.
The essentials of the boater’s repertoire are here—the bowline,
the sheet bend, the clove hitch, etc.—but so are such lesser-known
gems as the hawser bend, the cow hitch, and many more.
USPS Guides are available to members and the public at various
marine supply stores, and also directly from United States Power Squadrons
Headquarters by calling 1-888-FOR-USPS between 8:00AM and 4:30PM ET Monday
through Friday, or on-line via the United States Power Squadrons Ship's Store.
Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express are accepted. These
guides are also available to USPS members through their
Squadron Educational Officer.
