For many years yachtsmen and cruising sailors around the Irish Sea, as well as further a field, have used a simple booklet to ensure their safe passage to, from and around the Isle of Man. This booklet “Isle of Man Sailing Directions, Tidal Streams and Anchorages”, has been transformed by the Manx Sailing and Cruising club, through the courtesy of Pelagos Yachts of Ramsey, from a simple black and white hand-drawn edition to a full colour book with spectacular aerial photographs of every harbour in the island.

The new book celebrates what island sailors, both recreational and working, have always known – the Isle of Man is great place for coastal sailing with some wonderful harbours and anchorages. The launch of this publication will help to promote sailing and boating on the island, now made easier through new marinas at Douglas and Peel, bringing welcome visitors and increased tourism.

Copies are available now from the Hon. Secretary, Gordon Lloyd-West. Call him on 01624 812345 or email: lloyd@manx.net
