About the Author:
Anne Hammick has been involved with the
Pilotage Foundation for nearly 20 years. Atlantic
Islands was her first book, researched during 1987/88 and written at the chart table
on a portable typewriter. She has updated each subsequent edition and has no intention of
stopping just yet. From a sailing family, she first cruised long-distance in 1975 and
since then has made eight Atlantic crossings, six as skipper/navigator, including the 1981
Two-handed Transatlantic Race. An RYA Ocean Yachtmaster, most of her long passages were
made without the help of electronic (satellite) navigation systems. She has written more
than a dozen books on sailing subjects and is editor of Flying Fish, the biannual journal of the Ocean
Cruising Club. She was awarded the Royal Cruising Club Challenge Cup in 1987 and elected a
Fellow of the Royal Institute of Navigation in 2001. She lives aboard her elderly Rustler
31 in Falmouth, Cornwall.
