Cruising Guide to the Netherlands
By: Brian Navin

This handbook for yachtsmen and inland waterway navigators is the essential guide to the rivers and canals of Holland. The author has selected 21 of the best fixed masts routes through the country and describes their features and facilities. All the data regarding water levels, locks, bridges, heights and opening times, and distances are presented clearly for the navigator for use as a cockpit reference. The guides appeal to yachtsmen is also strengthened by the inclusion of details of the Netherlands ports and harbours and their approaches from seawards. For this fourth edition, the text and charts have been fully updated. The plans have been redrawn to Imrays standard-setting specification and the work is now in full colour. Many of the ground-level photos are new and each port is now illustrated with Patrick Roachs aerial photography. Brian Navin has visited the country many times and painstakingly researched the information for Cruising Guide to the Netherlands which has been produced as a companion to his North Sea Passage Pilot. Armed with both volumes and the appropriate charts, the cruising yachtsman requires little else to undertake an extensive tour of the Dutch waterways.
