Introduction

What better way of travelling the world than by crewing on a yacht? The Hitchiker's Guide to the Oceans is ideal for crew pre-planning, and for skippers seeking crew. It is packed with practical information from how to find a crew position, what to expect from different kinds of skipper, how to be in the right place at the right time, where the yachts gather and when, to rally locations, how to maximise your chances of being taken on as crew, what will be expected of you as crew, and job opportunities along the way.

Unique yacht migration maps show where the seasonal bottlenecks occur, and help pinpoint the best places and times of year to gain a crew place. This sixth edition with fully updated information and website addresses as well as a new colour section will be welcomed by all aspiring yacht crew, and also as a skipper's reference.

'Packed with all the information you'd need to find a crewing position... an invaluable guide to crewing anywhere in the world.' Yachting Monthly
