East Coast Rivers Cruising Companion by Janet Harber
20th edition of the East Coast yachtsmans bible. Comprehensive pilotage directions complemented by port information and local knowledge. Illustrated throughout with updated charts and photos.
"Essential information is complemented by quotes, local history, family history and additional photographs to provide the reader with a greater insight into the nature of this cruising area" (Little Ship Club) "To read this guide is to go on a journey with someone who is steeped in the East Coast Rivers and knows intimately its swatchways, creeks, mud and sandbanks." (The Deben Magazine) "The pilotage is descriptive and full of local colour including extensive quotations that give a real flavour of the East Coast" (Practical Boat Owner) "Years of experience shine through in the well-thought-out use of photographs and chartlets." (Classic Boat) "Well established as 'The East Coast Yachtsman's Bible'...highly regarded guide" (Boat Mart) "...excellent aerial photographs, simple and clearly illustrated chartlets...a useful new guide to navigate distances." (Yachting Monthly) "...very much a 'cruising companion', with patches of history, anecdote, quotation and detail of shoreside facilities...well illustrated..." (Sailing Today) “For those who prefer an interesting read to a technical guide, East Coast Rivers is full of good local knowledge.” (Yachting Monthly). "The old favourite for this area and has been in publication since 1956. Years of experience shine through in the well-thought out use of photographs and chartlets." (Classic Boat).
In the 1950s Janet Harber's father, Jack Coote, wrote a series of articles on various East Coast rivers for Yachting Monthly magazine, which were soon published in book form – in the first edition of this cruising companion. Janet has taken over authorship of the book, now in its 20th edition. Nowadays Janet sails on her sister’s lifting-keel Parker 325 based on the Deben and Orwell rivers.
