Description
With 6,000 kilometres of navigable waterways, the Netherlands is one of the biggest and most compact nautical areas in Europe. This book is a user guide for the entire network, covering all mast-raising routes, excluding only waterways where the bridge height is less than 3.5m. Navigational details for each waterway are provided, including dimensions and anticipated obstructions, including bridge and lock services. What follows are details of over 300 stops in all 12 provinces, some major or popular ports, others less travelled. Essential Feature Reviews expands to nearly 100 " prime locations" with more details on events and attractions, as well as information on practical amenities on land and author-selective and subjective restaurant tips. The book is created to be of interest to all crew members, not just the skipper or navigator, whether it's to establish how to approach a place or to discover what to do or see of interest on arrival. Easy to browse, the book's illustrations have been selected to give a flavour of this water-loving country as well as to prepare the visiting yachtsman, whether under power or sail. .
