Firth of Clyde including Solway Firth and North Channel (3rd edition)

Clyde Cruising Club (editor Geoff Crowley)

Imray

£35

This volume of CCC Sailing Directions and Anchorages covers a complex area from Whitehaven on the Cumbrian coast; north to the Crinan Canal and Upper Loch Fyne; westwards into Belfast Lough, then up the Antrim coast to Ballycastle. The Firth of Clyde is the historic centre for Scottish yachting and international sailing events, also for British shipbuilding and a naval tradition which is not yet defunct. The editor acknowledges the value of Bob Bradshaw’s recent hi-resolution surveys which have identified many underwater obstructions, both natural and man-made.

The CCC have also updated their Sailing Directions for Orkney & Shetland with N and NE Scotland: edited Iain and Barbara MacLeod, published Imray £35 A essential series.
