Arctic and Northern Waters

An RCC Pilotage Foundation handbook covering the Northwest and Northeast Passages through the Arctic Ocean, and the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Greenland.

It draws on information collected on a number of voyages in recent years and brings together experience and background data on a region increasingly accessible to cruising yachts. It follows the style of other Pilotage Foundation pilots, for use in the cockpit and for planning.

What's in this edition

The second edition contains revisions and additional information, some of it previously published in the annual supplement, with new photographs and harbour plans.

Praise for Arctic and Northern Waters

“Thank you very much for this invaluable reference work! ... it's astonishing the amount of information in it – I wish that everyone who is going to the areas covered would have a copy of it! The extent of the work that went into it is amazing”

– Peter Semotiuk, Northwest Passage 'guru'

“All the information required for Arctic navigation is here in one volume. A comprehensive and exceptionally well presented and illustrated book.”

– OCC Flying Fish Magazine

“For armchair voyagers, it's a compelling volume that takes the reader into waters that few will travel – for those who go there this is essential reading.”

– Irish Cruising Club Magazine

“The reviewer cannot recommend this volume strongly enough to anyone intending to venture to these waters.”

– John Andrews, Cruising Association Magazine
