New addition! The Harbour Book series consists of now six books. This book, Suuri Satamakirja VI (The Great Harbour Book VI) is written in Finnish and English. (One of these,The Great Harbour book IV, is aimed specifically at foreigners).
The routes and harbors, small and large, are depicted and introduced with clear drawings, maps and aerial photos.
The book is completely in color for nice reading experience. The information in these books is highly reliable because at least one member of the Turun Partio-sissit ry team has visited each of the qualified harbours.
The layout takes into account the difficult environment where the books will be used. The large pictures are well visible and the text is easy to read even in poor lighting.
Strong wire-binding makes the book easier to use. The paper for the books is especially chosen for its durability when wet. In addition to the harbour books, a see-through plastic envelope is included for storing the book.
The harbour books presents safe places to drop your anchor and where to find an ice-cream booth. There are several interesting historical stories about life in the archipelago as well as versatile information for today's sailor. These stories can also entertain you during the long winter season.
