A Cruising Guide to the Maine Coast  

A Cruising Guide to the Maine Coast

20th Anniversary, 5th Edition


Hank & Jan Taft, Curtis Rindlaub

This guide is compiled for both those who are new to the Maine coast and those who know it well, for those who plan to visit and those who want to explore it from afar. Nowhere else will you find as much detailed, accurate information on anchorages and their approaches, harbors and their facilities, islands and their communities. The authors have sailed their 35’ ketch to over 500 anchorages to bring you firsthand nformation about where to go and what to do. The harbors are rated for their beauty and interest, so you know at a glance what not to miss.
And many harbor sketches are included where an entrance is tricky or
orientation is difficult. Suggestions are presented to keep you out of
trouble, and many contacts are listed who can get you out of it. Mostly,
it is hoped that this guide will help you enjoy the coast of Maine and
that it will inspire you and give you confidence to discover a new
corner of the coast on every cruise.
