Atlantic Pilot Atlas

Atlantic Pilot Atlas provides a complete guide to the weather of the North and South Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean.

Now revised for the fifth edition, it includes weather forecasting, global warming, and hurricane avoidance information, as well as wind and current charts, wave heights, tropical cyclone tracks, and shipping routes. Any skipper contemplating an ocean crossing needs to know what conditions they are likely to meet en route in order to plan a safe and comfortable passage, and this book provides exactly what is needed.

40 specially drawn colour charts show detailed information on the winds, currents, gale frequencies, rough sea conditions, hurricane tracks, and recommended sailing routes for each month of the year for all these oceans.

About the Author

James Clarke is an Ocean Yachtmaster Instructor. During his circumnavigation, he recognised the need for an easily accessible routing guide that contained everything sailors would need to know to sail the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Mediterranean at any time of the year. Atlantic Pilot Atlas is the result of his painstaking work to compile such a reference.
