Welcome to the North Sea Section
The North Sea is a terrific cruising ground, embracing nearly 800 miles of every type of coastal terrain and many diverse on-shore attractions. The North Sea section aims to encourage and support cruisers looking to go further, offering a forum to exchange information and share experiences.
The North Sea Area
The North Sea Section covers the UK waters from Dover up to the Scottish Islands and the continental coast from Dunkerque to the river Elbe. The variety of destinations could hardly be greater, from the quiet Suffolk rivers to the sparsely populated and imposing rocky headlands of Scotland; the sandy coasts of Belgium and Holland, the intricate network of canals and old fishing ports, crowned by the lovely Frisian Islands that stretch into Germany. Plus there are busy and historic ports - London, Edinburgh, Antwerp and Rotterdam.
The North Sea delivers a wide range of cruising experiences, with tides that provide a helpful lift, sandbanks to navigate around, shipping that adds interest to any passage, and all helped by good breezes. Challenges and rewards in equal measure.
