The Shank : A Rutter for Anchorages in Tasmania’s Southwest

CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE.  POSSIBLY OUT OF PRINT.  The Southwest wilderness region of Tasmania is remote, strange and lashed by the savage weather of the roaring forties, but it is also one of the most beautiful and unspoiled places in the world.

In the past Rutters, were the primary store of geographic information for maritime navigation –  a Mariner’s handbook of written sailing directions before the advent of nautical charts.  Although The Shank primarily documents the anchorages which can be accessed while sailing the coastline, it also captures the beauty of the rugged south and west coasts and includes superb aerial photography.
