Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kim Sturgess was a weekend sailor: he enjoyed club racing and several brief sailing holidays, but had never attempted a substantial expedition. Reaching the age of fifty focused the mind and he decided to sail around Britain. While many cruising sailors would not contemplate a 1900 nautical mile voyage, he broke the voyage into a series of day sails, making it an achievable ambition for him, largely single-handed, and for many other weekend sailors who might dream of sailing around their home island. This book tells the quirky traveller's narrative of the voyage and visits to forty-eight towns. Evoking the spirit of both Jerome K. Jerome with his Three Men in a Boat and Joshua Slocum's Sailing Alone Around the World, Kim shares his thoughts and struggles, recounting how easy it is for anyone to become an adventurer here at home. But don't expect to always agree with him – he has been described as "the Jeremy Clarkson of yachting"!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The new circumnavigation bible" - Geoff Holt (the first disabled sailor to sail around Britain singlehandedly) A circumnavigation of the UK and Ireland is the perfect 'doorstep' challenge for sailors and motorboaters looking for an extended cruise which doesn't take them too far from family and responsibilities and allows them to keep in touch. It doesn't require extended time off work, or linguistic ability if things go wrong - and the coastline is beautiful! This book is a practical guide and Sam gives advice on planning and preparation: when to leave, whether to go clockwise or anti, what charts are needed, how much it is likely to cost, possible routes (via canals or 'the long way'), what stores and equipment are needed, likely pitfalls en route, and what types of running maintenance might be required. For the second edition she has added a '10 of the best' section detailing 'unmissable' places in a range of categories from remote bays and beautiful rivers to historic locations and anchorages. UK and Ireland Circumnavigator's Guide is perfect for all those sailors and motorboaters planning as well as dreaming of one day circumnavigating Britain's beautiful islands. 'A comprehensive guide to sailing (or motor boating) round Britain' Sailing Today- Highly Recommended Title

Book excerpt: In the winter of 2013 we decided it was time to sail away from our home waters on the East Coast of England.Other sailors may dream of circumnavigating the world, but Julian has a full time job, so sailing can only be a holiday occupation. Going round the UK seemed a more achievable goal anyway in a 22'6" gaff cutter built in 1937. We had no particular completion date in mind, so since then we have been cruising anticlockwise round the UK, overwintering where we end the season.In the spring of 2016, faced with heading down the Irish Sea from Scotland towards Wales we decided to take a detour, a long one, anticlockwise all the way round the coast of Ireland. This book is an account of the amazing nine weeks we spent aboard our elderly boat, discovering the wonders of Ireland, both North and South.We were amazingly lucky with the weather, and got some wonderful pictures which we have reproduced in full colour through the book.
