The Deck and Stability Workbook has been revised to reflect changes in the US Coast Guard newly released data base, adding 42 new pages to the Stability section of the workbook.

We have developed this series of training manuals to assist the Merchant Mariner in passing the U.S. Coast Guard Licensing Examinations, from Master 500 GT to 2nd Mate Unlimited Upon Oceans.

These manuals have been developed to augment our current textbooks for Mariners and are modular in design incorporating practical exercises and actual U.S. Coast Guard examination questions with all questions worked-out.
