"The new circumnavigation bible" - Geoff Holt (the first disabled sailor to sail around Britain singlehandedly)A circumnavigation of the UK and Ireland is the perfect 'doorstep' challenge for sailors and motorboaters looking for an extended cruise which doesn't take them too far from family and responsibilities and allows them to keep in touch.
