Waggoner Cruising Guide

Today, Fine Edge is one of the leading Nautical and Recreational publishers in the Western US with over 50 books and maps in its catalog. Its products are sold in national chain stores such as West Marine and REI as well as through nautical book stores, general book stores, and mountain biking shops. In 2004, Fine Edge acquired the US rights to co-... publish the well know Dreamspeaker cruising guides by Anne & Laurence Yeadon-Jones together with Harbour Publishing in Canada. The Dreamspeaker line of cruising guides is now moving into its 6th guidebook covering the best cruising areas of British Columbia and the San Juan Islands. Fine Edge also created the Nautical Knowledge Series starting with The Radar Book. This best seller, by Kevin Monahan, is now in its second revision and has been adopted by the State University of NY (SUNY) Maritime College, the US Power Squadron and the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary as their standard text for instruction on the operation of marine radar. Fine Edge is expanding their reach with new guides and maps for the Caribbean starting with Exploring the Virgin Islands by Joe Russell and Mark Bunzel and a new companion planning map for the Virgin Islands. The Exploring the Virgin Islands book is being released in its second edition after quickly selling out of its first printing. It is the first new cruising guide for this area in 15 years. Users have remarked about its contemporary design and ease of use with its aerial photos and clear, and concise color diagrams. Fine Edge's goal is to continue to acquire, develop and release high quality books and maps for the nautical and recreational industries and develop informational products to market to its loyal customer base.Read More
