Book SynopsisThe Canary Islands are an idyllic cruising ground, either as a destination in their own right or for those on their way through the Atlantic. Winter charter is a popular option for Northern European sailors. This authoritative pilot guide offers the sailor a perfect handbook to the nine main islands, all 40 ports and 26 anchorages in this amazing archipelago. Packed with comprehensive pilotage and nautical information as well as suggestions of where to eat and what to do ashore, it is designed to help you make the most of your visit to this fabulous area. It is enhanced with colour charts and detailed photography, including spectacular aerial shots of ports, harbours and anchorages.
Trade Review“An easy book to read, it is well laid out and includes many first rate photographs. The aerial views of harbours and their approaches are excellent. Harbour plans are clear and plentiful. Aids to navigation, particularly buoyage and lights on harbour approaches are given in detail… The clear and approachable style is much appreciated. It made me want to go back there!” (Royal Cruising Club)
