Cape Horn to Antarctica pilotage guide

Covers Chile, the Beagle Channel, Falkland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula with sketch plans, harbour details and navigation intelligence for high latitude cruising.

From the raw edge of Cape Horn to the icebound anchorages of the Antarctic Peninsula, this guide covers one of the most demanding and spectacular sailing regions on earth. Chile, the Beagle Channel, the Falkland Islands and Antarctica are brought vividly to life, with practical detail for navigating these challenging but rewarding waters.

Originally resulting from broadcaster Paul Heiney's voyage, the book blends first-hand experience with solid navigational intelligence. Key passages, harbours and anchorages are clearly described, supported by Imray sketch plans, proven strategies, and shared knowledge from a network of sailors who have been there.

Packed with full-colour photography and written with energy and authority, this is both a serious planning tool and a source of inspiration. Whether you're preparing to round the Horn or simply dreaming of high latitudes, this book is a vital companion.

The second edition is revised and updated throughout by seasoned bluewater sailors Tom and Vicky Jackson.

About the Author

Paul discovered his love for sailing in his early twenties. He started with a tiny 17 footer, bravely taking her across the Thames Estuary and onwards to Holland. He now has a 38 foot cutter, Wild Song, which he has taken to Cape Horn and back on a largely singlehanded sailing adventure of a lifetime.

Although a cruising sailor, Paul joined the Azores and Back Race in 2003 which gave him an appetite for ocean sailing. This led him to take part in the Singlehanded Transatlantic Race in 2005, nearly 3,000 miles in 32 days alone.

Paul also has a regular column in Sailing Today magazine.
