Looking for a copy of “Ship Handling in Narrow Channels” by Carlyle J. Plummer. It’s been out of print for a long time and the last copy I saw for sale was over $1,000. Hoping somebody might have one and want to get rid of it for significantly less than that? Thanks. ---

An excellent read. Not sure what happened to mine, but a friend attended the same course as I did back in the late 70’s. That book was required. It’s a huge longshot, but next time I talk to him I will ask. Otherwise good luck finding one. If you haven’t read it yet, you will enjoy it. ---

There is one on Ebay, older hardbound edition. Guy is rather proud of it for $400. ---

Hmm that’s a good idea. I’ll try that out. I was hoping somebody was cleaning out somewhere and came across a copy they were looking to offload…long shot. ---

Have not this particular one but have many excellent others . And can share. But need to be asked “kindly” . Below is only a tiny example of my extensive library. Covers narrow channels quite well.
