Many reasonably experienced coastal sailors (and motorboaters) find the

prospect of sailing their boat to the continent appealing yet daunting.

There are so many additional aspects that all need to be taken into

account and complied with that it can seem a forbidding prospect. This

highly illustrated, accessible and user friendly book takes the boater

though all the appropriate aspects in a hand-holding fashion, to dispel

the mystique, and present the undertaking as one that is eminently

achievable by anyone with basic boat-handling skills and navigational

knowledge.

Topics

covered : Navigation, Tides, Planning, Crew briefing, Safety

information, Man Overboard drills, Obtaining weather information,

Watchkeeping, Provisioning, Engine checks, Bureaucracy and form filling

and much more.

With this book to hand, both skipper and crew

will be well prepared to tackle all aspects of taking their own boat to

foreign waters for what should be a hugely enjoyable and rewarding

experience!
