In the hands of a skilled operator maneuvering these vessels looks effortless and seamless--smoothly spinning around, nimbly shifting position, having pinpoint control, all while the operator's hands move the control handles instinctively and naturally.

This book is the first step for a professional mariner adding a new competency to his or her art of towing--driving a Z-drive.
