Mark Fishwick’s West Country Cruising Companion is a leading pilot guide to this wonderful cruising area of South West England. First published in 1988 as West Country Cruising, it remains in hardback (and eBook) and covers the area from Portland Bill to Padstow, as well as the Isles of Scilly, giving passage information into the area from both the east and the north.
This definitive sailing guide for the coastline of Dorset, Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly combines a skilful blend of pilotage and cruising information, with historical insight and suggestions of where to eat and what to do ashore.
This latest edition has been fully updated by local yachtswoman Kate Brodie and includes over 75 new photos as well as updated text and charts; further updates are provided every spring on the Fernhurst Books’ website.
It is enhanced with colour charts and detailed photography, including spectacular aerial shots of many ports, harbours and anchorages. Now containing QR codes as well to take you quickly to the main harbour and marina websites.
For those who plan to head west, this book is more than essential reading – it will enhance your enjoyment and prove to be a worthy and much used addition to the ship’s library. Those already in the west will find themselves regularly thumbing its pages.
