Product Description
Product Description
World Cruising Handbook can best be described as a nautical tourist guide. Here you will find all you need to know about the most popular cruising destinations around the world, from Australia to Antigua, Turkey to Tahiti. Or, if you prefer sailing off the beaten track, read about lonely Tristan de Cunha in the South Atlantic or the remote islands of the North Pacific Ocean. If on the other hand you're just dreaming of travelling, the colourful introduction to each country will give you a taste of what it's like to help you make up your mind where to go, while the more practical sections will tell you what to expect on arrival. Realising how much time sailors spend clearing in and out of port and how bureaucracy and restrictions can mar an otherwise pleasurable cruise, Jimmy Cornell gives this information special attention. World Cruising Handbook is the companion volume to World Cruising Routes - essential references for anyone planning a voyage anywhere in the world.

Good overview - as matter of fact always a bit outdated. Still good basic information

Great Source of Information of Countries and Ports of Entry
16 Jan 1998
Format:Hardcover
This is a well structured book that provides a one stop source of information on port of entry procedures among other thing. However with that said. I have just returned from the Leeward Islands and found the entry procedures have completely changed. No longer do you fly the Q flag and wait, but the skipper can proceed directly to customs and immigrations. This is no doubt due to the increased yacht traffic. So talk with other yachts going to or coming from your destination to get the latest information on entry and clearance information.
