An RCC Pilotage Foundation pilot to the Isles of Scilly, 22 nautical miles off the coast of Cornwall. This seventh edition has been researched and completely rewritten by David Hackett, an RYA Yachtmaster Offshore skipper, and gives sailing directions and anchorage information for the islands.

About the author

David Hackett grew up by the sea in Cork and learned to cruise on family holidays in West Cork aboard a converted Baltimore sailing trawler. He first sailed to Scilly as a teenager in 1970 and has taken his family there every summer for the last 30 years, sailing dinghies in and around the islands. He lives near Falmouth and has cruised to and around the islands many times in his own yacht, Pinstripe of Penryn.
