Synopsis

This guide, which by this its fifth edition has already been hailed as one of the most thorough and up to date guides to inland waterways cruising in the Netherlands, provides detailed information on over 50 cruising routes in the country's 12 different provinces. Aimed at motor yachts cruising the 3,500kms of Dutch waterways that offer at least 4.0 metres air draft, the guide includes step-by-step navigation details for each route; bridge and lock opening procedures and times; descriptions of moorings and facilities; useful sources of information on every aspect of Netherlands cruising; a glossary of important Dutch terms, and tips offering unique insights into particular locations. It is the first book to provide this level of detail and to be written to supplement the national Nautical Maps (Waterkaarten) app and charts. It even corrects numerous errors to be found in this and other apps and published guides. This latest edition also includes a full index rather than just a list of place names. The guide is written by Cruising Association (CA) members Andy and Gwen Mulholland, who have cruised virtually every waterway in the Netherlands over the past decade, and edited by fellow member Gordon Knight. It is updated annually via reports from CA members actively cruising the inland waterways (several hundred of which are submitted each year) and includes a 25 per cent discount offer on first year's CA membership to purchasers applying online during the year. Members then have access to additional hyperlinks to the CA's proprietary CAptain's Mate app, enabling them to read the most up to date information on mooring locations and navigation restrictions as they are posted. It also includes a special code providing a 25% discount on a PDF version of the guide from the CA's Shopify online store at https: //cruising-association-eiws.myshopify.com throughout 2024.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Andy and Gwen Mulholland have cruised more than 12,000 kms in the Netherlands and have personally covered every area and route in this book, other than a small section of route GD3 in the Groningen region. They have acquired a deep appreciation for the Dutch and their country as well as an understanding of their culture. Their cruising has also included forays into France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany, including cruising on the Rhine. Gwen was a late convert to the pleasures of boating, who assured Andy on a first date that she was seasick on the Woolwich Ferry. Somehow Gwen found herself talked into married life, including a Fairline Mirage based on the Thames in the 1980s from which grew a shared enthusiasm with Andy. Together they have now shared over thirty years of cruising, mostly coastal, till acquiring their present boat 'Privileged London', a 12.5mAquanaut, in 2006 and settling down in retirement to European cruising.
