Description
Sailing in cold waters is a challenging yet highly rewarding experience. The high latitudes offer some of the world's last true wildernesses, now more accessible to small boats due to climate change. This book provides practical advice, stunning photography, and first-hand accounts from world-renowned experts to help you navigate the unique challenges of sailing in these regions.
From preparing yourself and your boat for the journey, to navigating the complexities of sailing in ice and dealing with safety risks, this comprehensive guide covers all aspects of sailing in cold waters. With expert knowledge and real-world experience, you'll learn how to tackle the North-West Passage, visit Antarctica, or enjoy a quieter winter season in the beautiful winter landscapes of the Southern Ocean.
