The editors of the 68th edition wish to thank the following for their expert guidance and contributions: Richard Thiel for contributing much of Chapter 21, Marine Engines, and for reviewing the engine material in Chapter 7; Adam Cort for rewriting the final section of Chapter 8 on the future of sailing; Richard “Doc” Clinchy for revising the sidebar on CPR and Rescue Breathing in Chapter 11; and Bob Sweet of the United States Power Squadrons for his insights and suggestions on integrating GPS, chartplotters, and radar with chart-and-compass piloting. We wish also to acknowledge our debt to Charles B. Husick, who kept the 66th edition on course and left the ship in Bristol condition.
