About the Author
Robert C. Duncan has cruised throughout the New England and Maritime Canadian coasts with his father, Roger F. Duncan, coauthor of the fifth through eleventh editions of the Guide.
Robert's son, Roger S. Duncan, coauthored those sections of the Guide that cover Cape Cod and the islands northeast to the Canadian border.
Paul W. Fenn, president of Jeanneau America, Inc., a subsidiary of the French boatbuilder, makes his home in Annapolis, Maryland. He grew up cruising the water from Noank to Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and eastward.
W. Wallace Fenn, longtime coauthor of the Guide, has visited in his small sloop almost every harbor from Rye, New York, eastward to Narragansett Bay. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

Out of Date,
This review is from: The Cruising Guide to the New England Coast: Including the Hudson River, Long Island Sound, and the Coast of New Brunswick, Twelfth Edition (Hardcover)
While the cover for this book says 'Updated' and is labeled 12th edition, it appears to be a 2002 printing of a 1990 copyrighted texted. It describes the use of GPS briefly and refers to 'when it works, it is okay'. Obviously the comment predates the bombing raids on Bagdad. The description of harbors is little changed from a 1978 printing but having visited some of these harbors in 2004, I found the names, phone numbers and parts of the onshore facilities' descriptions totally out of date. I returned mine...hope you find a more up-to-date reference.

The Cruising Guide to the New England Coast: Including the Hudson River, Long Island Sound, and the Coast of New Brunswick, Twelfth Edition
I was really disappointed when we received this book. I'm sure we could have returned it to Amazon, but as we are currently in the Caribbean, returning it would have cost more than the book. So it goes... This book was originally written in 1937. It is in it's twelfth edition where it says in 1999 they wrote sections on the Hudson River and Cape Cod and some sections of Maine. The few black & white photos in the book look dated. Sentences like "The latest miracle machine is GPS. If it does what it is said to do, it is a great source of comfort to the navigator" makes me wonder about the other info in this book which, at its best, is 11 years old. We'll take it with us, but I hope to find something else. I would NOT recommend this book, sorry.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Cruising Guide to the New England Coast: Including the Hudson River, Long Island Sound, and the Coast of New Brunswick, Twelfth Edition (Hardcover)
Thirty years ago we swore by The Cruising Guide to the New England Coast when we cruised in our Tartan 41. However, technology has increased the ability to receive the latest data. It would be good if the folks who bring us this Cruising Guide would have a web site to give us the latest information on the dredging of channels, great places to buy fish, etc. The book is outdated. However, it was a good read.
