Make sure ail hands know how to board your craft without tipping it. Boats do not tip by themselves care less people tip them. 2. Know your motor, what it will do and what it will not, Learn how to start, stop and change gears and speeds in varying situations. Instruction manuals come with most new motors. The manufacturer will supply you with another if the original is lost. 3. Learn how to leave a dock or mooring under pow er, make a landing or come alongside another boat. Prac tice these maneuvers until you know how to handle your craft expertly. 4. Learn and obey the na utical rules of the road. Cop ies of the rules are available at any Coast Guard office or from Coast Guard Headquart ers, Washington 25, D.C. 5. Be weatherwise. Get the weather forecast before you set out on the water. Learn the weather signs in your home waters. Clouds and wind movements foretell changes in the weather. Keep your radio tuned to weather reports. 6. Learn to read official government charts and always obtain those for the waters in which you are navigating. Safe channels, underwater ob structions and aids to naviga tion are shown on these "road maps of the waterways." 7. Ask the nearest Coast Guard Auxiliary for a free Courtesy Examination of your craft to make certain you comply with safety equip ment requirements and that your boat is seaworthy. If your boat passes this volun tary inspection you will re ceive a decal certifying tojthe fitness of your craft. 8. Novice skipper and old hands alike can become better boatmen by attending instruc tion classes in boat handling and navigation conducted by the Coast Guard Auxiliary and the U. S. Power Squad rons, open free to the public. " jllM V Si.-, v -v N J FRENCH BALLERINA LOOK shows up in this dreamy baby doll p.j. Skirt and bodice re flect the floral beauty of Paris.

Clamp an oar or paddle onto the transom next to the motor with a C clamp, making the blade per pendicular to the fore and aft line of the boat. Runabouts for 1958 Market Have Sports Car Look A sports car look in rakish, low swept-back lines, gay cc-i lors and higher power options are characteristic of inboard runabouts built for the 1958 market. There is more lapstrake construction, a wider accep tance of V-8 power plants with their more favorable horsepower-to-weight . ratios. Although there is plenty of flash, the boats are soundly constructed and utility as well as good looks are built into the highly stylized hulls. The sports car look is apparent in the canvas, molded fiber glass and plywood tops. Step Further Century has carried new ness a step farther than most with a redesigned bow in its Restorter 19 that not only contributes a lower look but is functional as well. The new treatment consists of an over hanging "wing" type of fore deck that imparts an aircraft carrier appearance to the for ward section and increases the deck area without a corres-i ponding increase in the deck's length. A slide-back and re movable top is a feature. The company has also contributed a new clinker-built utility, the Nordic 19, and a new 21-foot runabout the Coronado, to the picture, the last named up holstered m tufted white and crimson and. called by the company "America's most la vish 21-foot runabout." Power options in the line run from 75 to 300 h.p. Ancarrow Marine, which a year ago introduced a mile-a-minute 24-foot sportster that had two 300 h.p. Cadillac eng ines, has come out with three smaller models at lower prices that also has the speed and lines to catch the eye of the sports-minded, the 20 - f o o t Gladiator and the 19 - foot Praetorian and Patrician. Ly man has added a new 19-foot inboard to its clinker-built line that has proved outstand ing in seaworthness with engines of 60 or 109 h.p. Finland Contributes Finland also has con tributed to the lapstrake type with African mahogany boats of 19 and 22 feet with high freeboard and sweeping flare. They are shown by Finn Craft, Inc. Carlisle is introduc ing five new 17-footers in its Royalty group that are avail able either as inboards or out boards. Also in the line is the Aqua-King powered by spec ial Chris-Craft engines of 65 to 109 h.p. Their hulls are In rich brown with sweeping white bands.
