The RCC Pilotage Foundation Atlantic Crossing Guide by Jane Russell
The Atlantic Crossing Guide is a complete reference for anyone planning an Atlantic passage in their own boat. It is described by Yachting World magazine as 'An invaluable mixture of planning manual and pilot book, and an essential investment if you're planning to cross the Pond.' From ideal timing, suitable boats, routes, methods of communication and provisioning to sources of regional weather information, hurricane tracks, currents and tides, departure and arrival ports, facilities on arrival and documentation required, the comprehensiveness of this new edition will both inspire dreamers and instill confidence in those about to depart. This is the definitive reference on the subject, relied upon by many thousands of cruisers crossing the Atlantic in both directions and packed with all the information they need. 'I cannot imagine setting sail without it' - SAIL magazine (US)
'The complete reference for anyone planning an Atlantic crossing in their own boat..An investment for serious cruisers.' Practical Boat Owner (August 2010) 'This book has been around for 25 years and there is a good reason for that as it has developed into an invaluable guide.' Sailing Today (December 2010) 'The Atlantic Cruising Guide has always been considered one of the finest reference books for anyone planning such a passage, this latest offering raises the bar for any competition.' Sailing Magazine (December 2010) 'This is the 6th edition and it is an ambition improvement, making this tried and true book even more valuable to those planning a trip across.' Cruising Club of America Magazine (January 2011) 'No other book contains so much information for planning and setting out on an Atlantic crossing.' World Cruising Club Magazine (Autumn/Winter 2010) 'This is a great read and should be read during the planning stages of the trip.' Ontario Sailor Magazine (Fall 2010)
