The Definitive Guide to Crossing the Planet's Largest Ocean

Now in its third edition, this trusted classic provides the latest on major routes, piloting information for hundreds of ports and approaches, as well as the latest on rallies, atoll navigation, and Pacific festivals you don't want to miss.

Written under the watchful of the RCC Pilotage Foundation, the Pacific Crossing Guide is the definitive word on the best routes and seasons to tackle this ultimate sailing challenge.
Extensively illustrated with Navionics harbor charts, and all important mileage charts and routes maps, this is both a hardcore planning guide and a gorgeous dreamer's bible.

Web links to the best sources for Pacific weather are also included. This edition also features the voices of others who have lived out their dreams and share their experiences, like the Hylas 46 owner who addresses the cyclone season on Vanuatu.
