Description
The Atlantic Crossing Guide is a recognized and comprehensive standard work for sailors planning to cross the Atlantic. Published by the RCC Pilotage Foundation and written by Jane Russell, the book draws on decades of experience from long-distance sailors and ocean crossers. It provides in-depth guidance on route selection, weather patterns, trade winds, currents and seasonality, as well as practical advice on the preparation, safety and execution of an Atlantic crossing. The book covers both east-west and west-east voyages, including alternative routes via the Canary Islands, Cape Verde, the Caribbean and the Azores. Focusing on planning, risks and decisions along the way, the book serves as both inspiration and a concrete reference for safe and successful long-distance cruising.
