Sailing is fun for everyone. No matter where you are or how old you are, anyone can get involved. There are only two things you need to get afloat - a kitbag full of enthusiasm, and this book.

In this ultimate beginner's guide, yachtsman and writer Simon Jollands takes the helm to show newcomers of any age that sailing is easier than people sometimes think. He quickly covers how to get afloat before exploring what you can do when you are on board:

- Learn how to steer the boat - Understand how sails work, and how to hoist them - Find out how to use an anchor - and how to get free again! - Learn how to tie useful knots - Know what to do if there's a man overboard - Discover the curious intricacies of how toilets work on a boat

All the simple stuff is covered too, from what clothes to wear to getting on board safely. With a glossary of boating terms, and clear colour diagrams and photos throughout, this book makes everything easy to understand, so even somebody who has never stepped foot on a boat before can quickly learn the ropes.

Passage Planning Guide: Panama Canal and Approaches (2020 Edition) is the most comprehensive navigational guide to the Panama Canal to date. It builds on the research and experience gained since the 2014 'Guidance for LNG Carriers Transiting the Panama Canal' by SIGTTO. The large format chartlets and supplementary navigational and procedural data in this new guide support Masters and officers in maintaining the highest safety standards in these constrained waters.

The user friendly format of this publication will also help to ensure a successful transit for the increasing numbers of Neopanamax ship Masters, who may be completely unfamiliar with the canal, due to changing patterns of global trade and the 2016 expansion of the locks.

This title supersedes 'Guidance for LNG Carriers Transiting the Panama Canal' by SIGTTO.

As with previous editions of Thomas' Stowage, revisions will be found in all parts of the book, based on new legislation, new commodities and improved methods of handling and carriage. Incidents continue to occur with liquefaction of bulk cargoes as well as losses of containers from the large ships now in service. Thomas' Stowage addresses these and other issues as far as it is able, and by pointing the reader in the direction of other sources which may assist them in the satisfactory loading, carriage and discharge of their cargo.

The rationalisation of Parts 3A and 3B entries has continued, and it is recommended that the point of entry to find a particular commodity in either Part 3A or 3B should be the Index, where not only commonly used names but also less frequently used names - perhaps of local derivation - for the same commodity will be found, with the reader being referred to the appropriate listed item.

The Glossary of Cargo Handling and Shipping Terms has been enhanced with a number of new entries. The terms have been obtained from a variety of sources and suggestions for further entries or amendments will be most welcome.

Thomas' Stowage continues to be regarded as the definitive reference on the subject and is recommended by many organisations with an interest in the safe handling and carriage of cargoes. It is an essential resource for ships' officers, ship agents, terminal operators, freight forwarders, container packers, maritime lawyers, training schools and marine insurance companies.
