This latest pilot from the RCC covers the long and complex coast of Norway, from the Swedish border in the Skagerrak to the Russian border, including the Lofoten and Vesterålen islands, the arctic archipelago of Svalbard and the remote volcanic island of Jan Mayen.
Fully illustrated, mainly with the author's photographs, the work is divided into a general introduction to Norway and 8 coastal sections, identifying cruising routes and describing 1,000 island, fjord and mainland harbours and anchorages. The opening chapter includes a section on cruise planning, with detailed information on Norwegian weather and sailing conditions.

A4. Hard cover. Full colour. 300pp

Judy Lomax started sailing as a child in her father’s GP14, and progressed with her husband David to family holidays afloat on their first yacht, Eridani. In 1985, they  bought Cloud Walker, a Beneteau First 345 with which they crossed the Atlantic by the trade wind route, returning via Greenland, Iceland and the Faroes to Norway. Since then, they have spent many summers sailing in Norway, exploring islands, fjords and mainland harbours and anchorages between the Swedish and the Russian borders. They have also spent a couple of summers sailing in Svalbard, on the second occasion returning to the UK via Jan Mayen. In 1991, they crewed on a 75ft replica Viking longship, Gaia, from Trondheim to Washington. They have been members of the Royal Cruising Club since 1986. Judy is grateful to the many RCC members whose cruising notes, collected over 60 years, were the starting point for this book.
