Description
The Mediterranean Cruising Handbook is considered a standard work for anyone planning to sail in the Mediterranean, either as a leisure sailor or long-distance cruiser. The book covers the entire region and provides a comprehensive introduction to what is required for safe and successful sailing in these varied waters.
Content ranges from meteorology, seasonality and weather patterns to navigation, route planning, safety, mooring, port conditions and anchoring. In-depth advice is also given on administrative matters such as customs, clearance, insurance and local regulations – topics that often vary significantly between Mediterranean countries.
The book is richly illustrated with maps, diagrams and explanatory illustrations, and serves as both a planning tool and a reference book along the way. This is not a traditional port guide, but a general and practical handbook that complements local pilot books and port guides.
