The Netherlands – Inland Waterways

With 6000km of navigable waterways, the Netherlands offers one of the most extensive cruising guides to the Netherlands. The guide is a comprehensive user`s guide to the whole network, covering all the mast-up routes and excluding only those waterways which offer less than 3.5m bridge height.Navigational details are provided for each waterway; comprising dimensions and obstacles to be expected; included service arrangements for bridges and locks. This is followed by details of over 300 stopping places across all 12 provinces; some of which are large or popular harbours, and others which are well off the beaten track. Comments on significant features are expanded for nearly 100 `principal` venues where more details on things to do and see are provided, as well as information on practical facilities ashore and the authors` restaurant tips.The guide is designed to be of interest to all crew members, not just the skipper or navigator, to establish not only how to approach a place but also what to do or see, and whether it will be of interest on arrival. Easy to browse, the book`s illustrationshave been selected to give a flavour of this water-loving country as well as to prepare the visiting yachtsman, whether under power or sail.
