French for Cruisers

Practical and easy to use, French for Cruisers gives English-speaking boaters the vocabulary and language skills they need to cruise in French-speaking waters.

Although the book is targeted at English-speaking boaters and marine professionals who don't speak French, it will also be useful to those who are fluent but lack knowledge of French nautical and mechanical terms.

French for Cruisers is divided into 28 topics specifically geared to boaters' needs including emergencies, communications, marine hardware, engine repairs, boatyards, marinas, rigging, sailing, customs and immigration, marine weather forecasts, canals and waterways, and shopping.

A consistent layout throughout the book makes it easy to flip to the section you need and start talking. Three columns display the English, French and pronunciation for every word and phrase, so that you can speak confidently and be understood.
