North Africa

This longstanding cruising guide to the coasts of Morocco, Algeria, Libya and Tunisia includes coverage of the adjacent ‘jump-off’ locations of Gibraltar, Pantelleria, the Pelagie Islands and Malta.

Since his first visit more than fifty years ago, author Graham Hutt has sailed this coastline extensively in a number of yachts, from a 29ft Stella to a 65ft schooner. His enthusiasm for the Arab countries of the Mahgreb helped to open North Africa to cruising sailors. Di Stoddard has worked with Graham to update this fifth edition. In several locations new harbours have opened or facilities have improved. Elsewhere, developments have stalled, or silting has occurred. Harbour plans have been updated and extended to reflect these changes, and many new photographs are included to assist navigation and inform the reader about this most beguiling region. Whether sailing across the Mediterranean or down the Atlantic coast, North Africa is an essential cruising companion.
