The Solent is the spiritual home of sailing and one of Britain’s most popular sailing spots, offering a varied and interesting cruising ground.
In this pilot guide focusing on the Solent, Derek Aslett provides an authoritative companion to this area that he has loved, lived and cruised for over 50 years. It will help you make the most of your time in these waters, whether as a resident, regular or occasional visitor.
Centred on Cowes and covering the area from Keyhaven and Yarmouth in the west to Chichester and Bembridge in the east, Solent Cruising Companion provides comprehensive pilotage and nautical information, as well as historical details and suggestions of where to eat and what to do ashore.
The book is enhanced with colour charts and detailed photography, including spectacular aerial shots of ports, harbours and anchorages. This latest edition has been fully updated and includes over 100 new photographs and 40 updated charts. It now contains QR codes to take you quickly to the main harbour and marina websites.
