Description
South & West Coasts of Ireland is the definitive pilot book for sailing the south and west coasts of Ireland, published by the Irish Cruising Club Publications. This is one of the club’s most comprehensive and experience-based publications, covering a vast and varied coastal area characterized by exposed Atlantic stretches, strong currents and rapidly changing weather.
The book provides detailed sailing directions for harbors, natural harbors and anchorages, as well as in-depth descriptions of approaches, tides, currents and local peculiarities. It places great emphasis on practical navigation and safe navigation in demanding waters.
The guide is edited by the Irish Cruising Club and is based on continuously updated knowledge from active sailors. It serves both as a pre-cruise planning tool and as an indispensable reference book along the way, and is a key supplement to official nautical charts and electronic navigation systems.
