Cruising the Coral Coast by Australian nautical authority Alan Lucas is the cruising sailor’s bible for navigating Queensland’s spectacular reef-rimmed shoreline. This 2014 illustrated paperback blends first-hand seamanship with practical pilotage, making it as useful on the chart table as it is inspiring in an armchair.
The book carries a personal inscription, adding a nice touch for collectors or gift-givers. Though the cover shows light wear and the inside front panel has a hint of foxing, the pages remain clean, tightly bound and free of any major marks—save for a couple of unobtrusive pen notes made by a previous cruiser.
Perfect for yachties, motor-boaters and armchair explorers, this Cruising the Coral Coast guide covers anchorages, bars, passages and natural wonders from the Gold Coast up to the Torres Strait. Alan Lucas’s clear hand-drawn plans and local knowledge help skippers of all levels cruise safely while soaking in the region’s stunning marine environment.
A sought-after title in Australian boating literature, this copy is ready for another season onboard or on the shelf.
