Description
The Baltic Sea and Approaches is an acclaimed pilot book published by the Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation and provides a comprehensive overview of sailing in the Baltic Sea and adjacent waters. The book covers both the approaches from the North Sea and the different parts of the Baltic Sea area.
The guide describes sailing conditions, route selection, ports and practical considerations in an area characterized by long distances, low salinity, varying depths and significant commercial traffic. It also provides insight into the climatic conditions, seasonal variations and navigational challenges peculiar to the Baltic Sea.
The book is written as an overall regional guide and works best as a pre-sailing planning tool, in combination with more detailed regional pilot books and official charts. The Baltic Sea and Approaches is an important supplement for sailors planning longer voyages in the Baltic Sea area.
