Description
Charlie’s Charts of Polynesia is a detailed and practical sailing guide for long-distance sailors in Polynesia. Covering archipelagos in the South Pacific east of 165° west longitude, the book provides in-depth descriptions of anchorages, ports and natural shelters in one of the world’s most popular yet challenging cruising grounds.
The guide is based on many years of practical experience and contains sketches, map sections and detailed descriptions of approaches and local conditions. Special emphasis is placed on navigation in areas with reefs, limited marking and varying map bases, where local knowledge is crucial for safe navigation.
Charlie’s Charts of Polynesia is designed as a practical onboard reference book and is often used in combination with official nautical charts and meteorological sources. The book is particularly popular with sailors planning extended stays in Polynesia or inter-island voyages in the Pacific.
The publication is published by Imray and is considered a standard work for long-distance sailing in the region.
