ISBN10: 1574092391, ISBN13: 9781574092394, [publisher: Rowman & Littlefield, Lanham] Softcover Paperback. World-speak it seems, is becoming nothing more than a series of acronyms, and maritime lingo is no different. It is simply loaded with abbreviations. Hence this reference book. I mean, we all know that ABYC is Algoa Bay Yacht Club, don t we? Or that AGM stands for Annual General Meeting? Or that GP is what happens in the likes of Monaco each year? Wrong. In this American publication, you ll find American Yacht and Boat Council, Absorbed Glass Mat (a storage battery feature), and Geographical Positioning. And although there are many acronyms or abbreviations with which we are, indeed, quite familiar, there are some in this publication that are pretty obscure. Still, if you are into Acro-speak, you ll find this compilation interesting. If not, well. "Dictionary of Nautical Acronyms and Abbreviations" deals with sailing. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
