Good for planning new cruising groundsDecember 21, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was intially sceptical about this book before reading it. I had bought "50 places to sail before you die" and felt it was a waste of money. But this is different and is clearly written by someone who understands what you would be looking for as a sailor. It provides practical info which would help you decide whether you might like to cruise in this area. It contains useful planning info such as sailing season, prevailing wind, degree of difficulty etc. It covers 71 places and has been put together by some reputable yachting writers and it shows. It is supported by some stunning photography which should really whet the appetite to investigate new areas. My only negative would be that the photos of west coast of Scotland could have been more spectacular given the scenery - but it is a minor negative. Definately worth buying if you are looking for new cruising grounds or if considering places to charter.
