UK and Ireland Circumnavigator’s Guide 3rd edition

This is a comprehensive guide to sailing (or motor boating) round Britain. * Sailing Today (review of previous edition) *There is something to learn on every page. Must be one of the best available practical guides for cruising. * Lymington Times (review of previous edition) *Clear writing, stunning imagery and useful graphics make for a manual at once informative and entertaining. The book is an invaluable guide to anyone thinking of cruising the UK * Yachting Monthly (review of previous edition) *Brimming with practical advice interspersed with absolutely stunning photographs … the book has ignited my belief that the circumnavigation of the UK and Ireland is not only truly achievable, but also essential for the cruising sailor. * Cruising Association (review of previous edition) *Packed with invaluable, advice on planning, preparation, and maximising your experience … this guide gives you the confidence to set sail * Practical Boat Owner *This is just so much more than a pilot book. The information on harbours, headlands and the rest is rock solid, but there’s more useful information on running a boat here than in many a textbook that specialises in nothing else. Sam is a grown-up sailor of wide experience. It shows, and even an old salt like me found plenty in its beautifully presented pages to top up my knowledge banks. * Tom Cunliffe *
