This guide to
Chile covers the coasts from Africa in the inhospitable desert in the north to the glacial
fjords of Cape Horn in the south. Chile's vast coastline offers the complete range of
scenery and is one that is only just beginning to be discovered as a cruising ground. This
guide offers detailed sailing directions for almost all the important harbours and
anchorages, many of which are documented here for the first time. The detailed text is
supported by sketch plans and colour plates.
The information is this guide was
collected by members of the Royal Cruising Club, Ocean Cruising Club and other yachtsmen
and was first edited by Oz Robinson. Andrew O'Grady took on the compilation of this second
edition having visited Chile in 2001 and his additions build on the original work. It
contains a significant amount of new information on areas not covered in detail in the
first edition. Maggy Staples' hand drawn plans have been revised and include additional
material by Ulla Norlander.
In the six years since it was
first published, it has made a name for itself as an essential work in the library of
yachts bound for one of the most exciting cruising areas in the world.
