Description
The Pacific Crossing Guide is an authoritative and practical standard work for sailors planning to cross the Pacific. Published by the RCC Pilotage Foundation and written by Kitty van Hagen, the book draws on the extensive experience of long-distance sailors who have crossed the Pacific in different directions and seasons. It provides in-depth guidance on route selection, weather patterns, trade winds, monsoons, currents and seasonal variations, as well as practical advice on preparation, safety and execution of long ocean voyages. The book covers voyages from the Americas to Polynesia, Asia and Australia, and on through the Western Pacific. With a focus on planning and risk management, it serves both as inspiration and as a concrete reference work for safe and successful ocean sailing.
