RCCPF Author

The RCC Pilotage Foundation was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee in 2005 and is a registered charity. The Foundation collects and researches written, photographic and chart information relating to small boat pilotage, navigation and operation, climate and weather conditions, including information from remote areas of the world where other sources of information are scarce or non-existent. We then publish this information in the form of conventional books and, increasingly, via downloads, e-books, website passage planning guides, and other media. The RCCPF aims to produce and maintain high quality pilotage information, working with its worldwide and generous-minded yachtsmen and women. Since 2000, contributor and co-author, Steve Pickard has sailed in waters from the Arctic to South America and has crossed the Atlantic several times, including solo. For these and other voyages he has won awards from the Royal Cruising Club, the Ocean Cruising Club and the Cruising Association.
