About the Author : Captain Reichert has logged over 100,000 nautical miles operating twin screw vessels. During that time, he trained personnel to maneuver and safely operate commercial U.S. Coast Guard inspected and certified passenger vessles that had twin screws and twin rudders.  It became obvious to him that the students did not understand what forces were being exerted beneath the vessel when a maneuver was being executed. It seemed that no matter how comprehensive the explanation, it had little or no meaning to the person involved.  Captain Reichert drew a crude set of visual aids in the form of flash cards and sent them home with the students. Overnight the rate of improvement in every student was very noticeable and the students soon were maneuvering the vessel with much more accuracy and understanding.Several years and much thought later, Captain Reichert decided to improve upon his method and to offer it in the form of a FLASHBOOK for sale to the public.  The simple, yet understandable form is a TUTOR for the beginner or the professional who constantly strives to hone his or her skills.  The illustrations in the learning manual are plain and give the impression of looking down through a glass bottomed boat.  

The explanations are simple and easy to understand.  The FLASHBOOK is easily used by one or two individuals at the same time and can vastly accelerate learning time.
