Gordon Knight

Gordon Knight spent 40 years cruising under sail, mostly in Northern European and Mediterranean waters. During that time, as an admin on the World Cruising Wiki, he largely created several Mediterranean sections. He now spends part of the year cruising the European inland waterways with his wife Soophy in their 12m Dutch steel motor yacht 'Cheyenne'. A long-standing member of the European Inland Waterways Section (EIWS) of the UK's 6,400 member Cruising Association, he writes or edits the Section’s 26 guides to the inland waterways of Europe.

These include: 'An Introduction to the European Inland Waterways'; 'Cruising the Inland Waterways of France and Belgium'; 'Cruising the Standing Mast Routes of The Netherlands'; 'Through France via the Inland Waterways'; '50 Great Cruising Routes in the Netherlands'; 'Through the Netherlands via the Standing Mast Routes'; 'Cruising the Dutch Islands of the Waddenzee'; 'Cruising the River Moselle/Mosel' and 'The German Rhine'.

A further range of illustrated mooring guides covers 17 of the most popular French canals and rivers, including the Canal du Centre; Canal du Loing and Canal de Briare; Canal entre Champagne et Bourgogne; Canal Latéral à la Loire; Canal Latéral à la Marne; The River Marne; The Upper Moselle; Canal du Rhône au Rhin; Canal du Rhône au Rhin (Nord) and Canal de Colmar; Canal de la Marne au Rhin (Est); Canal de la Marne au Rhin (Ouest); Canal de la Sarre and River Saar, The Petite Saône; Canal Lateral à l'Aisne and River Aisne; Canal de l'Oise à l'Aisne; Canal de la Sambre and River Sambre and Canal de l'Aisne à la Marne.
