Sailing in cold waters is challenging, but hugely rewarding. And
when you venture into the high latitudes you find yourself in some
of the world's last real wildernesses. In recent years climate
change has made these regions more accessible to small boats, and
it is now possible to venture further afield in search of
adventure. With practical advice, stunning photography and
first-hand accounts of voyages from world-renowned experts, this
book offers hard-won wisdom on all aspects of sailing in cold
waters: * Preparing yourself: good routines, assessing risk and
preparing your crew * Preparing your boat: design, heating, engine,
steering, anchors and electrics * Sailing in ice: instrumentation,
charts, and what to do when you get stuck * Safety: MOB, polar
bears, glaciers and dinghy procedure * Communication: VHF,
satellite and SSB * Weather: interpreting GRIB files and reading
ice charts * Anchoring and mooring: types and numbers of anchors
and mooring lines * Clothes: hiking and skiwear; the three-layer
principle * Cruising areas: Svalbard, Antarctica, South Georgia and
many more Whether it's tackling the North-West Passage aboard your
own yacht or a more modest voyage, heading to Antarctica or keeping
your boat in the water for the quieter and often more beautiful
winter season, this book is essential reading for all sailors
preparing for enjoyable and safe sailing in cold waters.
