With 6,000km of navigable waterways, the Netherlands offers one of the most extensive yet compact cruising grounds in Europe. This book is a user's guide to the whole network, covering all the mast-up routes and excluding only those waterways which offer less than 3.5m bridge height.
Navigational details are provided for each waterway; comprising dimensions and obstacles to be expected, including service arrangements for bridges and locks. This is followed by details of over 300 stopping places across all twelve provinces; some which are large or popular harbours, and others which are well off the beaten track. Comments on the significant features are expanded for nearly 100 'principal venues' where more details on things to do and see are provided, as well as information on practical facilities ashore and the authors' selective and subjective restaurant tips!
The book is designed to be of interest to all crew members, not just the skipper or navigator, to establish not only how to approach a place but also what to do or see, and whether it will be of interest on arrival. Easy to browse, the book's illustrations have been selected to give a flavour of this water-loving country as well as to prepare the visiting yachtsman, whether under power or sail.

THE BALTIC SEA, THIRD EDITION 2010.
By Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation, Hardback, 1.5kg, 376 pages, 215mm x300mm, full colour photographs and drawings
This third edition draws heavily on the earlier work by Barry Sheffield and Oz Robinson and then by Anne Hammick and her supporting team.
The Baltic Sea is vast and diverse in every sense. This book sets out to provide the cruising yachtsmen with the background details necessary to plan extended cruising throughout the region whether it is to the popular well developed areas or the more remote parts where the only company is the wildlife. The earlier book has now been much enhanced, updated and extended to include the west coast of Sweden and the whole of the Gulf of Bothnia. All areas of the Baltic Sea are now covered. Although the pilotage information for each country is much greater than hitherto, it would be impractical to mention the thousands of harbours and anchorages in all these differing countries. However, all key facts for each country are provided along with details of the local guides and how to source them.
RED SEA PILOT
By Elaine Morgan & Stephen Davies, Hbk, 280 pages, 215mm x302mm, full colour photographs and drawings
The second edition of this comprehensive pilot incorporates information collected by the authors during their cruises in the area during 2000-2001. Some 70 anchorages were resurveyed and new ones explored, and the details of these have been included in this edition. Improved coverage of diving and diving sites is also one of the key improvements. Dive sites are now clearly identified.
Users of the authors' guides to Southeast Asia will be familiar with their background information on culture, history and politics - an attractive feature of their writing, and in this new edition of Red Sea Pilot discussions on the history of the pilotage and charting of the area have been added. There are particularly interesting sections on hydrographic surveying and, with this in mind, the authors have included their own sketch charts of the Sudan coast which are folded into the back of this volume.
For this edition the cartography has been completely renewed and is now clearer. The text is illustrated by a section of colour plates which capture the atmosphere of the sometimes harsh but always fascinating geography of the area covered by the pilot.
CHILE
By Andrew O'Grady, Pbk, 208 pages, 210mm x295mm, full colour photographs and drawings
This guide to Chile covers the coasts from Arica in the inhospitable desert in the north to the glacial fjords of Cape Horn in the south. Chile's vast coastline offers the complete range of scenery and is one that is only just beginning to be discovered as a cruising ground. This guide offers detailed sailing directions for almost all the important harbours and anchorages, many of which are documented here for the first time. The detailed text is supported by sketch plans and colour plates.
The information in this guide was collected by members of the Royal Cruising Club, Ocean Cruising Club and other yachtsmen and was first edited by Oz Robinson. Andrew O'Grady took on the compilation of this second edition having visited Chile in 2001 and his additions build on the original work. It contains a significant amount of new information on areas not covered in detail in the first edition. Maggy Staple's hand drawn plans have been revised and include additional material by Ulla Norlander.
Chile is the only modern pilot book available in English. In the six years since it was published, it has made a name for itself as an essential work in the library of yachts bound for one of the most exciting cruising areas in the world.
