Cruising Guide to the Netherlands and Belgium

Kieran Flatt & Hilary Keatinge

RCCPF / Imray

£37.50

If it seems surprising that this should be a first edition, that’s a measure of comprehensive coverage achieved by the late Brian Navin. While his North Sea Passage Pilot remains the standard crossing guide, Kieran Flatt and Hilary Keatinge are now filling a discernible need with this updated and appealing Cruising Guide. The area covered runs from the French-Belgian border to the border with Germany. It includes all seaports accessible to a yacht drawing less than 1.5m and inland waterway routes with opening bridges or fixed clearance height of at least 12m.

The authors embrace smart phone navigation as uniquely helpful within the Netherlands inland waterways but their well written and highly informative narrative provides essential context.
