The 20th edition of ‘the East Coast yachtsman’s bible’ to mark the book’s 60th anniversary. It covers the rivers, creeks, shoals and swatchways of the Thames Estuary and surrounding rivers, extending from Lowestoft to Ramsgate.

The text is illustrated throughout with updated charts and photographs, including spectacular aerial shots of a number of the rivers and entrances that make up this cherished cruising ground. Not only a pilot guide, this is the memoir of a family’s history; exploring, capturing and celebrating this extraordinary sailing area.
