Description
The Isles of Scilly is an acclaimed pilot book published by the Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation and covers sailing around the Isles of Scilly southwest of Cornwall. The archipelago is known for its clear waters, many shallow areas and exposed location to the Atlantic Ocean, which places high demands on accurate navigation and good planning.
The book provides detailed descriptions of ports, anchorages and natural harbors, as well as information on approaches, tides, currents and local features. It places particular emphasis on safe navigation in waters characterized by reefs, shoals and rapidly changing weather conditions.
Based on the extensive experience of the Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation, the guide serves as both a pre-sailing planning tool and a reliable reference during the voyage. The Isles of Scilly is an essential supplement to official charts and electronic navigation systems for sailing in the area.
