”The new circumnavigation bible” - Geoff Holt (the first disabled sailor to sail around Britain singlehandedly) A circumnavigation of the UK and Ireland is the perfect `doorstep` challenge for sailors and motorboaters looking for an extended cruise which doesn`t take them too far from family and responsibilities and allows them to keep in touch. It doesn`t require extended time off work, or linguistic ability if things go wrong - and the coastline is beautiful! This book is a practical guide and Sam gives advice on planning and preparation: when to leave, whether to go clockwise or anti, what charts are needed, how much it is likely to cost, possible routes (via canals or `the long way`), what stores and equipment are needed, likely pitfalls en route, and what types of running maintenance might be required. For the second edition she has added a `10 of the best` section detailing `unmissable` places in a range of categories from remote bays and beautiful rivers to historic locations and anchorages. UK and Ireland Circumnavigator`s Guide is perfect for all those sailors and motorboaters planning as well as dreaming of one day circumnavigating Britain`s beautiful islands.`A comprehensive guide to sailing (or motor boating) round Britain` Sailing Today- Highly Recommended Title
