Description
Atlantic Islands is a standard reference work for sailors planning voyages to and between the Atlantic archipelagos. Covering the Azores, Madeira, Selvagens, the Canary Islands and Cape Verde, the book provides in-depth guidance for some of the most visited stops on routes between Europe, Africa and the Caribbean.
The book provides detailed information on ports, anchorages, approaches and local conditions, as well as weather patterns, currents and sailing strategies for crossing open seas. Like other publications from the Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation, the content is based on long experience and contributions from experienced long-distance sailors.
Illustrations, map sketches and port plans are integrated into the text, making the book suitable both for planning and as a reference book along the way. Atlantic Islands is often used as the main reference in combination with more detailed local pilot books.
