"Podręcznik przekraczania Atlantyku". Pokaźna cegła napisana przez Anne Hamick i Gavina McLarena doradza, jak zabrać się za przepłynięcie na drugą stronę. Omawia przygotowania do podróży, zaopatrzenie i wyposażenie jachtu, formalności, przepisy i dokumenty, praktykę żeglugi oceanicznej. Podaje podstawowe informacje pilotowe i sugerowane trasy. Potem następuje opis wybrzeży i portów odpowiednich do "startu i lądowania", plany marin, cieśnin i podejść. Książka wydana bardzo starannie przez Adlard Coles Nautical we współpracy z RCC Pilotage Foundation i Ocean Cruising Club. Książka w języku angielskim.
