Essential Planning Advice for All Boaters

About this book

An indispensable planning manual for all sailors and motorboaters yearning to cruise home waters. Sailing around Britain and Ireland may be a challenge that requires a great deal of preparation, but it is an extremely rewarding experience without taking you too far from home. The coastline is beautiful and it doesn't require extended time off work to embark on an adventure. This planning bible offers practical insights into every aspect of circumnavigating, covering: when to leave, choosing direction of travel, what charts and equipment are needed, how much it is likely to cost, possible routes (via canals or 'the long way'), likely pitfalls during the journey, and the types of running maintenance that might be required. Experienced offshore sailor Sam Steele includes 'ten of the best' castle anchorages, wildlife encounters, picturesque marinas and many more suggestions to help boaters make the most of their trip. Packed full of maps and photos, this revised third edition provides up to date information on local facilities and marinas, finances, safety and navigation. It also includes a new chapter on greener circumnavigation, with advice on how to achieve a lighter footprint for your cruise. This is the perfect guide for boaters planning as well as dreaming of one day circumnavigating Britain's beautiful islands, whether fully crewed, short-handed or singlehanded.
