Description
Cruising Guide to Cape Horn and Antarctic Waters is a specialized reference work for sailors planning voyages in higher southern latitudes. Covering the waters around Cape Horn and the Antarctic regions, the book provides detailed information on routes, anchorages, weather conditions and safe navigation in extremely demanding environments.
The guide is based on extensive practical experience and contains descriptions of ports, natural harbors and ports of refuge, as well as assessments of ice conditions, currents and wind. The areas covered are characterized by rapid weather changes, low temperatures and limited infrastructure, which places high demands on both planning and equipment.
The book also provides insight into expedition sailing, including preparation, route selection and safety routines for sailing in remote waters. It is suitable as both a planning tool and on-board reference for experienced long-distance and expedition sailors.
Published in partnership with the Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation and Imray, the publication is considered a standard work for sailing in these extreme waters.
