Description
The Shell Channel Pilot is one of the most recognized pilot books for sailing the English Channel, published by Imray and written by Tom Cunliffe. The book covers the entire Channel area, including the south coast of England, the north coast of France and the Channel Islands.
The guide provides detailed descriptions of ports, anchorages and approaches, as well as in-depth information on tides, currents and sailing strategy in one of Europe’s busiest and most demanding waters. Special emphasis is placed on safe navigation in areas with strong currents, heavy shipping and rapidly changing weather.
The book is written in an accessible but professional language, and is suitable both as a planning tool and as a reference book along the way. The Shell Channel Pilot is an important supplement to official nautical charts and electronic navigation systems for anyone sailing in the Channel area.
