Atlantic Islands Bermuda, Azores, Madeira Group, Canary Islands and Cape Verdes Бермудские, Азорские острова, острова Мадейра, Канарские острова и мыс Вердес

RCC Pilotage Foundation Atlantic Islands will reach its 30th year during this 6th edition. Unique amongst the RCCPF publications it has remained under the same authorship for all of this time. The Pilotage Foundation remains deeply indebted to Anne Hammick for creating and nurturing Atlantic Islands so painstakingly and for so long. Anne has kept watch over many changes in the islands through the years, frequently visiting in person and developing a broad network of contributors, most of whom are visiting yachtsmen and women but several of whom are native or adopted islanders. They have helped to ensure that Atlantic Islands remains the essential reference for any yacht visiting the islands and the Pilotage Foundation is grateful to all of them for the continuing updates.
