Any sailor or
powerboater laying a course for Nantucket is going to love this cruising guide.

With full-color
chart details and photos (both aerial and on-the-water), illustrated endsheets,
and chapters on Nantucket piloting, weather, tides and currents, anchorage,
history, and shoreside attractions, this book unites beauty and utility to an unusual
degree. Yacht designer Alfie Sanford has been sailing around Nantucket all his
life. When he tells us to tack over to starboard just past the green can
marking the end of the second dry shoal entering Eel Point channel, do it. He’s
been there, and he knows.

Yacht designer Alfred “Alfie” Sanford began sailing around Nantucket when he was two or three years old: he’s not sure which. Nine years later he took a first overnight cruise in his 12-foot Rainbow catboat, anchoring and sleeping on the Horseshed shoal across the harbor from town. In recent decades he has sailed across the Atlantic four times and cruised around Ireland, Scotland, Norway, and the Eastern Mediterranean in his 57-foot yawl Impala, always returning to the waters of Nantucket. Nathaniel Philbrick is the New York Times bestselling author of In the Heart of the Sea, Mayflower, and Valiant Ambition. He lives in Nantucket.
