The Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation is a charitable organization which does not distribute any profits as these are used to finance new books, new developments, to subsidize those pilots covering areas of low demand and the e-pilots.
It produces over 32 pilot books including Atlantic and Pacific Crossing guides, coverage to the Mediterranean and the English Channel, and from Greenland to the Baltic and more in the pipeline. Browse, purchase online, download an e-pilot at the website.
