Description
Arctic and Northern Waters is a specialized pilot book published by the Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation, covering sailing in some of the world’s most demanding and uncrowded waters. The book includes the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Greenland, and is aimed at sailors with experience of exposed and demanding areas.
The guide provides practical and experience-based information on navigation in Arctic and sub-Arctic waters, focusing on weather, ice conditions, currents, limited infrastructure and self-reliant sailing. It emphasizes planning, safety and risk assessment in areas where help is often far away.
The book serves as both a planning tool and a strategic reference book for expedition sailing and long voyages in northern waters. Arctic and Northern Waters is an essential supplement to official nautical charts and electronic navigation systems for sailors operating in Arctic waters.
