Isles of Scilly (7th edition)

David Hackett

RCCPF / Imray

£34.50

New author David Hackett has substantially rewritten the RCCPF cruising guide to the Isles of Scilly. The islands themselves remain unchanged – no new marinas to report, no new hazards. Just the shallows and the rocks and the lack of shelter from the west and the absence of navigation aids, which makes pilotage advice indispensable. Hackett offers detailed narratives for the approaches to the islands and passages between them. He has re-photographed almost all the significant features. There is also much more to read including a new chapter on the maritime history.

With no disrespect to previous editions, this seems a thoroughly useful book.
