Produktbeschreibung

"The new circumnavigation bible" - Geoff Holt (the first disabled sailor to sail around Britain singlehandedly)

A circumnavigation of the UK and Ireland is the perfect 'doorstep'
challenge for sailors and motorboaters looking for an extended cruise
which doesn't take them too far from family and responsibilities and
allows them to keep in touch. It doesn't require extended time off
work, or linguistic ability if things go wrong - and the coastline is
beautiful!

This book is a practical guide and Sam gives advice on planning and
preparation: when to leave, whether to go clockwise or anti, what
charts are needed, how much it is likely to cost, possible routes (via
canals or 'the long way'), what stores and equipment are needed, likely
pitfalls en route, and what types of running maintenance might be
required. For the second edition she has added a '10 of the best'
section detailing 'unmissable' places in a range of categories from
remote bays and beautiful rivers to historic locations and anchorages.

UK and Ireland Circumnavigator's Guide is
perfect for all those sailors and motorboaters planning as well as
dreaming of one day circumnavigating Britain's beautiful islands.
