This stylish handbook covers the spectacular cruising grounds around Cape Horn and includes some of the most dangerous waters in the world, from the treacherous cape to the icebound anchorages of Antarctica.
It offers not only inspiration and encouragement but enough detail to plan the voyage of a lifetime.
Key passages, harbours and anchorages are described alongside sketch plans, and full colour photographs and lively texts offer a strong sense of the drama and magnificence of an area that is increasingly of interest to cruising yachts.
This book is not only a vital practical resource for these waters but also a source of inspiration for those considering a future visit.
