Cape Horn and Antarctic Waters, 2nd Edition, 2026

Including Chile, the Beagle Channel, Falkland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula

The second edition of this stylish cruising handbook is revised and updated throughout by seasoned bluewater sailors Tom and Vicky Jackson.

From the raw edge of Cape Horn to the icebound anchorages of the Antarctic Peninsula, this guide covers one of the most demanding and spectacular sailing regions on earth. Chile, the Beagle Channel, the Falkland Islands and Antarctica are brought vividly to life, with practical detail for navigating these challenging but rewarding waters.

Originally resulting from broadcaster Paul Heiney’s voyage, the book blends first-hand experience with solid navigational intelligence. Key passages, harbours and anchorages are clearly described, supported by Imray sketch plans, proven strategies, and shared knowledge from a network of sailors who have been there.

Packed with full-colour photography and written with energy and authority, this is both a serious planning tool and a source of inspiration.
Whether you’re preparing to round the Horn or simply dreaming of high latitudes, this book is a vital companion.
