This series of pilotage guides aims to provide the user with all he needs to cruise or race from Great Yarmouth to the Scillies, and Den Helder to Brest. Each double page spread contains on the right hand page an accurate scaled chart of the harbour or anchorage, showing coastline, depth of water, navigational lights, latitude and longitude references, Decca waypoints and drying areas. The facing page carries tidal information, approach details, warnings of hazards and port and pilotage information. The book also contains graphs for quick and accurate tidal calculations. Brian Goulder is race organizer for offshore classes (Cowes) and editor of "Channel West and Solent Almanac" (annual). Volume 2 covers Chichester to Portland, the Channel Islands, St Vaast to Erquy and St Legue to Ushant. Volume 3 covers Bridport to the Scilly Isles and Binic to Ushant.

“You are likely to learn more about winning yacht races by reading this book than from anything you’ve read in quite a while. . . . [It] gives us a close look at Conner―surely the most successful sailboat skipper in the United States today . . .” ―Bruce KirbyNo Excuse to Lose is the book Dennis Conner still refers to as “the bible,” He says (Time magazine, 9 February 1987), “I like to compete. I guess I don’t dislike it, but my sailing is just bottom line, like adding up the score in bridge. My real interest is in the tremendous game of life.”
