It is simply loaded with abbreviations. Hence this reference book. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI 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? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWrong. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStill, if you are into Acro-speak, you ll find this compilation interesting.
