'The definitive work on Pacific crossings'
Cruising
The Pacific Crossing Guide is a complete reference for anyone contemplating sailing the Pacific. From ideal timing, suitable boats, routes, methods of communication, health and provisioning to seasonal weather, departure and arrival ports, facilities, likely costs and dangers, this comprehensive new edition will both inspire dreamers and instil confidence in those about to depart.
Completely updated, expanded and refreshed for the new generation of Pacific cruisers, this is the definitive reference, relied upon by many thousands of cruisers. Part 1 covers thorough preparation for both East-to-West and West-to-East crossings and Part 2 covers Pacific weather patterns, major routes and landfall ports, with useful website links throughout. There are sections on rallies, coral atolls and atoll navigation, the cyclone season and laying up, use of electronic charts, satellite phones versus HF radio, ongoing maintenance, and Pacific festivals.
Updated with new charts and photographs, the new 4th edition focuses on ports of entry rather than secondary anchorages, and expands the North Pacific coverage, making it a valuable resource for sailors doing a North Pacific circuit, particularly US and Canadian sailors from the Pacific North.
The Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation was founded in 1976 with the objective of advancing 'the education of the public in the science and practice of navigation'. Its members write and continually update pilot books.
Francis Hawkings has owned the Tradewind 35 Plainsong since 1992, in which he has sailed some 35,000 ocean miles in the North and South Pacific, the South Atlantic and the Caribbean. He has rounded Cape Horn and sailed singlehanded from Hawaii to Japan.
