På denne side har jeg samlet en oversigt over diverse bøger, som jeg har
brugt under S/Y NETTE's tur til Caribien.
NB!:
Søfartens Bibliotek - www.sbib.dk
– har mange bøger for sejlere, ikke mindst langturssejlere og alle kan låne!
Den billigste måde er at købe bøgerne via Internettet fra England. Derved undgår du at skulle betale moms, fordi bøger ikke er belagt med moms i England.
NB: De sidste nye informationer om bogkøb fra England er, at man faktisk kan risikere at komme til at betale mons. Jeg kender en, som fik leveret bøger fra Amazon UK og hans regning var pålagt dansk moms! Det er det engelske firmas problem at få opkrævet dansk moms, så check regningen, før du afgiver den endelige bestilling.
NB: Jeg har netop selv købt 2 bøger (februar 2001) fra Internet Bookshop (UK) og jeg kom ikke til at betale moms! Jeg tror at årsagen er at Internet Bookshop (UK) ikke har så stor omsætning til Danmark - i modsætning til Amazon UK - at de ikke skal betale moms.
Betalingen sker med credit-card (f.eks. VISA) ved, at du opgiver nummeret på dit credit-card, når du registrer dig som køber. Desuden skal du opgive den adresse, bøgerne skal sendes til.
Du kan selv søge efter bøgerne ved at klikke på nedenstående link til WHSmith Bookshop eller til Amazone (UK).

Har man planer om at sejle til Caribien, så er det denne bog, du skal starte med. Den indeholder et væld af nyttige informationer om, hvorledes en sådan tur planlægges. Bogen indeholder desuden pilot-informationer for de mest strategiske havne på en tur til Caribien. Bla.er Bermuda, som ikke dækkes af de efterfølgende pilots, dækket af denne bog. Hvis du ikke har råd til at købe andre pilots, så køb denne!
For many sailors and yachtsmen, the ultimate challenge is to cross an ocean by the power of nature alone. Months of preparation and sheer dedication are required for such an adventure, but anybody who wishes to accept the challenge, or indeed is curious for an insight into such an adventure, should purchase The Atlantic Crossing Guide. This book is more like an ongoing project as the original publication was produced by the Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation in 1983 by the late Phil Allen and has now reached its 4th edition under the guidance of Hammick and McLaren. Every aspect of long-haul sailing is addressed the 230 pages, ranging from preparing the boat and equipment, navigation and communications, and suggested sailing routes. Weather guidelines are given for both the north and south Atlantic and advice of how to cope with extremes of weather. There are also weather and coastal charts of some of the main harbours on both sides of the Atlantic in England, Spain, Portugal, United States and even Bermuda and South Africa. This is a thorough guide for anybody who is considering a transatlantic voyage and will give all the information you need to begin your preparation for the adventure. --Steven Payne
A reference book for all those planning an Atlantic passage. It provides information from choosing and equipping a suitable boat, route planning, provisioning, navigation, safety, landfalls, port details and suggested pilot books. It also includes regional weather information, details of ocean winds and currents, and advice on formalities to be completed on arrival in each country. Prospective transatlantic voyagers find advice on the recommended routes to take; the best times of the year to cross; what extra equipment should be fitted; what stores should be taken; and what the facilities are at the destinations. It includes updated information on new harbours, electronic navigation and communications.
Har man planer om at sejle Jorden rundt så har du brug for denne bog om Stillehavet. Den indeholder et væld af nyttige informationer om, hvorledes turen over Stillehavet planlægges. Bogen indeholder desuden pilot-informationer for de mest strategiske havne.
If plans are taking shape that include the Marquesas, or if the Vic-Maui or Pacific Cup races mean a crossing to or from Hawaii this year, then the release of the RCC Pilotage Foundation's, The Pacific Crossing Guide, will be a welcome piece of news in the lives of passage planners. Coming in the wake of the highly successful Atlantic Crossing Guide the Pacific edition brings us an outstanding new reference to cruising our favorite ocean, along with a wealth of new and current information on the Coconut Milk Run, perhaps the world's most fabled cruising grounds....
Of particular interest this 1998 sailing season is the book's excellent overview of our now infamous current and weather pattern, the Southern Oscillation (SO) a.k.a. El Nino....
One final highlight that offers a rare glimpse of the seductive powers of this region, is the outstanding foreword to the volume.
This is the sister volume to "The Atlantic Crossing Guide" and follows a similar format, giving first-hand advice on a wide range of practical matters which should be valuable for anyone planning a Pacific crossing, whether as part of a circumnavigation or merely to explore the Pacific Islands. Part I contains a wealth of information on preparing the boat, her equipment, and crew; the weather and seasons; provisioning; ocean cruising techniques; health matters; radio communications and achieving happy relationships with the South Sea Islanders. Part II examines the choice of routes, both east to west and west to east, and provides a comprehensive overview of each of the island groups through which the routes pass. Part III gives landfall information with detailed chartlets for 43 harbours. Included are the principal arrival and departure points in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Panama, New Zealand and Australia.
Dette er ikke nogen pilot! Det er en fremragende engelsk bog om, hvorledes en båd så billigt som muligt købes, udrustes og klargøres til langturssejlads, uden at der "gåes" på kompromis med sikkerheden
Engelsk Synopsis
A guide to planning a blue-water voyage whether on a budget or not. The book
gives advice on: choosing a suitable boat; locating equipment bargains;
priorities - for both safety and enjoyment; shorthanded watchkeeping; the human
problems living aboard a small yacht; and budget provisioning.
Many people who dream about voyaging with their own sailboat lose their dream as they wait to get enough funds together to actually buy a boat and the time to live aboard without an income. This book describes how you can buy and refit an older, seaworthy sailboat, and how to budget your funds while underway. Probably the most important lesson from this book is the basic equipment and skills required as a minimum for offshore travel by sailboat. How much money do you need? Figure US$ 10 to 20 thousand for initial boat purchase, the same amount again to bring the boat to seaworthy condition. For your monthly budget, figure out how much you spend now on food and beverages, and add a little if you like to go out. It will probably come out to between $500 and $2000 a month, depending upon your lifestyle. Anne's book explains the most likely method for a cruiser on a budget to successfully break ties from land: through the purchase of a used, fiberglass monohull sailboat of about 30 feet in length. Her focus is on sailing from the British Isles to the Carribbean, and other parts of the Atlantic. The discussion includes what needs to be done to the typical "classic plastic" sailboat to make it ready for an Atlantic Crossing. After reading this book, you will want to move on to other books which focus on the details of navigation, provisioning, maintenance, etc., but this book will give you an excellent overview and help you build your plan.
NB ovenstående links giver sikkert ikke den sidste nye udgave. Prøv i stedet at søg på titlen via boghandlens søgemaskine.
Denne bog er helt uundværlig. Bogen dækker kysten fra Skagen til Gibraltar og hele Storbritanien, dvs England, Wales, Skotland og Irland. Den indeholder de nødvendige tidevandstabeller og strømkort. Desuden indeholder bogen de nødvendige anduvningskort og havneplaner. Bogen indeholder også waypoints for anduvninger og passager af de områder, bogen dækker. Der kommer en ny udgave hvert år, så vent med at købe til lige før, du skal af sted. En ældre bog kan bruges med forsigtighed, selv om den er 1 eller 2 år gammel. Alle strømkort og tidevandsangivelser er givet i forhold til højvandet ved Dover. Jeg brugte en 1999 version - sammen med den aktuelle højvandstabel for Dover - under min sejlads hjem fra Caribien i sommeren 2000. En anden mulighed er at gå ind på læsesalen på et bibliotek i England og tage kopier fra den sidste nye version af de aktuelle højvandstabeller for de områder, man har planer om at besøge. Det gjorde jeg selv på biblioteket i Falmouth
Engelsk Synopsis
Ranging from Skagen at the tip of Denmark down to Gibraltar, including the UK
and Ireland, this almanac offers data needed for safe navigation. It is divided
into 25 areas with harbour, marina, coastal and tidal data, and a marine product
and services directory. It has four free updates in 2001
Har du planer om at sejle ad de hollandske kanaler, så er dette bogen. Bogen indeholder desuden detaljerede anduvnings-vejledninger for alle hollandske Nordsø havne.
Denne pilot er også helt nødvendig, og den dækker alle Atlant-havne for Spanien og Portugal. Den nyeste version indeholder desuden nyttige waypoints.
Denne pilot er også helt nødvendig, og den dækker alle de atlantiske øgrupper, dvs Azorerne, Madeira, De Canariske Øer og De Kapverdiske Øer. Den nyeste version indeholder desuden nyttige waypoints bla. for ruteplanlægning af Atlant-passager og for havneanduvning.
Engelsk Reviews
The author, Anne Hammick , 5 November, 1999
If you've bought (or been given) a copy of Atlantic Islands it probably means
you have a voyage in mind -- good luck!
A lot of work went into the research for this third edition, nearly all during
1998, though I was able to make late changes to light details etc until April
1999. Hopefully you will find it both useful and reliable. However, although
it's a truism to say that the rocks don't move, nothing ashore stays the same
for very long. Details of facilities in particular soon go out of date, not to
mention the odd harbour wall being built -- or maybe falling down. So if, on
your travels, you find anything in the new edition of Atlantic Islands which is
no longer correct, don't just grouse about it -- write (or e-mail) my publishers
and let us know. You'll find their contact details on the outside of the back
cover. You may even rate a personal 'thank you' in the acknowledgements to the
next edition!
Many thanks and good sailing,
Anne Hammick
De listede pilots til Caribien kan evnt købes når du komme til Caribien. Den eneste, som bør købes hjemme fra er "Sailor's Guide to the Windward Islands" by Chris Doyle. Den dækker fra Grenada til Martiniqu, dvs. den dækker både Barbadoa og Saint Lucia, som er de mest anvendte anduvnings-øer når man kommer ude fra Atlanten.
NB: Her kan du hente gratis Cruisinguides til Caribien: http://freecruisingguides.com/
NB: Opdateringer og waypoints til Chris Doyle pilots kan hentes på Internettet: http://www.doyleguides.com
Pilot, som dækker området omkring Trinidad og Tobago.
NB: Gratis version: TRINIDAD 1.2_2011.06.05.pdf - 2.7 mByte- Tobago mangler i den gratis version!
Pilot, som dækker området fra Grenada til Martinique. Bogen indeholder udmærkede anduvnings-kort med waypoints og detaljerede havneplaner, så oversejlingskort er det eneste, som ellers er nødvendigt at købe, for at kunne besejle området. Bogen for "the Leeward Islands" er den bedst gennemarbejdede og den med de bedste kort i Chris Doyl's serie af pilots.
NB: Gratis version The Windward i Islands: Lesser Antilles Bk 3 FINAL 2012-1.09.12.pdf - 28 MByte!
Pilot, som dækker området fra Dominica til St Martin. Bogen er den tykkeste - flere reklaner; men den er ikke så gennemarbejdet som den tilsvarende for "The Leeward Islands".
NB: Gratis version The Leeward Islands: Lesser Antillles Bk 2 FINAL 2012.07.01.pdf - 34 MByte!
Pilot, som dækker de britiske Virgin Islands og de amerikanske Virgin Islands, med bl.a. de tidligere danske Vestindiske øer: St Thomas, St Croix og St John. Desuden dækker bogen også Spansk Virgin Islands.
P.S. Har du planer om at besøge de tidligere danske Vestindiske øer med skib, så husk at alle besætningsmedlemmer skal have et visum i passet fra den amerikanske ambassade i København - ellers koster det over 1000kr per person blot for at få en opholdstilladelse!.
NB: Gratis version The Virgin Islands: Lesser Antilles Bk I FINAL 2012.07.01.pdf - 12 MByte!
Har du planer om at sejle længere end til Caribien f.eks. Jorden rundt, så er Jimmy Cornell's bog om rute-informationer, vejrinformationer og waypoints mm. helt uundværlig.
Synopsis
A guide providing over 500 sailing routes throughout the world, geared
specifically to the needs of long distance cruising sailors. It contains
essential information on winds, currents, regional and seasonal weather as well
as suggestions concerning optimum times for individual routes.
Dette er Jimmy Cornell's sidste udgivelse. Jeg har mødt flere langturssejlere, som havde købt denne bog. Bogen indeholder informationer om de forskellige lande med toldregler, visumkrav mm. Det må forventes at indholdet forældes relativt hurtigt så man skal nok vente med at købe bogen til lige før man skal af sted.
Yachting
"A must-have book... an important reference that will be cherished."
Cruising World
"It gives all the specific, pertinent information one expects from a
cruising guide, but on a worldwide scale... encyclopedic in scope."
Practical Sailor
"This is perhaps your best general-purpose reference for world cruising."
Book Description
A companion volume to Cornell's World Cruising Routes, this practical
edition provides a rich source of essential information on planning and
executing any overseas voyage. Part tourist guide, part specialist cruising
handbook, this meticulously researched and edited second edition is completely
updated. Part One covers health precautions, insurance, safety, flag etiquette,
cruising permits, visas, and other documents. Part Two, the heart of the book,
supplies specific information on language, currency, political situation,
culture, climate, and religion for more than 180 countries. There is detailed
information on ports of entry, customs requirements, clearance procedures, yacht
clubs, and more. Part Three gives sources of weather forecasts worldwide, radio
and cellular communications networks, life raft service stations, and a glossary
of useful terms in French, Spanish, and Portuguese.
Jeg har netop - 12 nov. 2012 - set at der er lagt nogle - tilsyneladende nye udmærkede pilots for Caribien - ud på nettet. De nye pilots er oven i købet helt gratis helt gratis. Link: http://freecruisingguides.com/
Jeg har hentet de 3, som dækker det område jeg har gennemsejlet.

Reviewer: By: CH-8155 Niederhasli Switzerland
Rod Heikell's guides are seen as the definitive guides to sailing (cruising)
in Greek waters.
Ports, harbours and marinas are clearly and accurately described and the
diagrams are clear and easy to follow. We sailed recently in Greece and along
with the Imray chart, this guide formed all the information you are likely to
need.
My one complaint is that co-ordinates are not given for the ports, harbours,
marinas and other points of interest such as quiet anchorages and bays. To input
these into the GPS meant going back to the chart, where it would have been so
much easier to be able to lift them straight from the guide. Hopefully this will
be fixed in later editions. Otherwise an essential guide to anyone wanting to
cruise the waters around Greece.
Synopsis
Since its publication in 1985, Rod Heikell's Turkish Waters & Cyprus Pilot has
been the only comprehensive pilot for the coasts of Turkey available in English.
This sixth edition is a major revision. During 2000 Rod Heikell spent some three
months sailing and exploring the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts in seven tenths
collecting the latest information, drawing new harbour plans and taking new
photographs. The technical information at the beginning of the book has been
recompiled and redesigned and new waypoint lists have been added to meet the
needs of modern navigation. This data has now been assembled and incorporated in
this new full colour edition. Turkish Waters & Cyprus Pilot covers the coasts
and islands from Istanbul, through the Sea of Marmara, the Dardanelles, the
Aegean and Mediterranean coasts to the Syrian border. Despite tourist
development during recent years, Turkey remains largely undiscovered. Its
background, combining fine coastal scenery, a classical history and a culture
that blends East and West, makes it a most attractive and peaceful cruising
ground. This pilot also covers the island of Cyprus, the small Greek outpost of
Kastellorizon and the Black Sea coast of Turkey for which the notes provided by
the author will be of interest to those yachtsmen going northwards.

Book Description
All voyaging sailboats require some form of automatic
steering to relieve shorthanded crew from having to steer every minute underway.
Even coastal cruising boats find automatic steering a welcome convenience.
Electric autopilots are the usual choice for weekending and coastal cruising;
voyagers prefer the greater reliability and lower power draw of windvane
systems, but there are hybrids that offer the best of both worlds. This book
explains it all, filling a large gap in the marine how-to-literature.
Copyright 1998, McGraw-Hill
"For some strange reason, most cruising people profoundly dislike steering by hand. The prospect of spending hour after hour at the helmused to deter most people from long distance cruising. This is undoubtedly the main reason why, until relatively recently, the number of sailing boats venturing far afieldwas very small indeed. However, all that changed with the advent of automatic pilots specifically built for yachts plus the development of efficient wind operated self-steering devices. Suddenly, the chore of hand-steering was a thing of the past and long ocean passages could be a pleasure – even on yachts with the smallest of crews. Having made one circumnavigation of over 70.000 miles with an Aries and another of some 40.000 with a Hydrovane, I could not be accused of exaggerating if I state unreservedly that one of the most important pieces of equipment on any cruising yacht is a wind-operated self-steering gear.
Unfortunately, and surprisingly, this view is not shared by many Cruising sailors. This is primarily because most of us have grown up with technology around us, we tend to take the push-button mentality with us to sea. Steering a given course is easy to achieve by setting a compass course and pushing a button on the autopilot, and, nowadays, this is what most sailors perfer to do. It is usually on the first morning with flat batteries that the love-affair with their favourite toy comes to an aprupt end. Having been forced to listen to countless heart-rendering stories on this very theme at the end of the ARC or similar trans-ocean rally, I managed to persuade Peter Förthmann to come to Las Palmas before the start of the ARC to talk to our participants about the pros and cons of self-steering. His talks and workshops became an instant success, not only becausde he knows this subject better than anyone else in the world, but also because he always speaks generically about both wind-operated self-steering gears and electronic autopilots. He never tried to sell his own products and, in this way, enjoyed the interest and confidence of his audience.
I am therefore pleased, not only that he took my advice to write
this long-overdue book, but also that he managed to do it so fairly
and objectively by giving all his competitors an equal opportunity
to make their products known. Alle existing systems are described in
the following pages, allowing the reader to make up his own mind.
Many sailors agree that Peter´s Windpilot is currently the best gear
available. Being both the inventor and manufacturer of this
ingenious device, Peter has indeed shown that his name should stand
alongside those of his great precursors: Blondie Hasler, Marcel
Gianoli, Nick Franklin. This book confirms Peter Förthmann´s
standing as the world authority on wind-operated self-steering
gears."
