Bound in luxurious black leather with a soft padded front cover, this gorgeous sailing log book feels as impressive in the hand as it looks on display.

Each volume contains 140 pages of premium 120gsm paper, designed to be fountain pen friendly, allowing smooth, effortless writing without bleed-through or feathering.

The interior layout has been carefully considered to meet the needs of sailors recording their passages. The pages provide structured sections to capture essential details:

• Date / From / To: At the very top of the log, these entries establish the framework of the voyage - the day of travel and the ports or harbours of departure and arrival. This essential information provides a clear record of the journey’s scope, useful for reference or in the event of official verification.
• Tides and Local Port Information: Dedicated lines for high and low water, including both first and second highs and lows, allow for accurate planning and review of tidal conditions. Recording this ensures a sailor can always reflect back on how the tides influenced the passage, and it is particularly valuable for coastal navigation, where tidal streams and depth are crucial.
• Course, Log, and Distance: This section captures the technical progress of the vessel. The ‘Course’ column records the direction steered, while the ‘Log’ notes the cumulative miles travelled. ‘Distance’ entries provide clear measurements of legs completed, making it straightforward to assess speed and progress.
• Wind Strength and Direction: A fundamental detail in sailing, these entries ensure that weather conditions are noted precisely. This not only assists in understanding how conditions affected the voyage but also builds a valuable record over time for future reference.
• Barometer, Latitude, and Longitude: These elements allow for both scientific and traditional seafaring recording. The barometer entry helps in observing and predicting weather changes, while latitude and longitude mark the vessel’s position with precision, adding an indispensable navigational reference.
• Weather Forecast and Crew: The right-hand page begins with forward-looking information. Noting the forecast allows sailors to plan accordingly and creates a record of expectations versus actual conditions. The crew list ensures that all on board are accounted for, making the log book a document of accountability as well as memory.
• Passage Totals: Summarising each journey, this section calculates overall distance covered and engine hours expended. It provides a concise reference point for maintenance schedules, fuel usage, and overall performance of the vessel.
• Log Narrative: This more open-ended space allows the sailor to expand beyond the technical details, recording the day’s events, challenges, or personal reflections. It is here that the log becomes more than data - transforming into a diary of the sea, capturing the human experience of the voyage.
• Waypoint, Route, Course, and Distance: Located at the bottom, this table brings clarity to navigational precision. It ensures that changes in route and intermediate positions are clearly documented, forming a comprehensive map of the passage when reviewed in sequence.

This balance of structured recording and freeform note-taking ensures that every log is not only a precise navigational record but also a personal chronicle of time spent at sea. Each voyage, whether a short coastal sail or a long ocean passage, becomes a preserved memory and a testament to the sailor’s journey.

To make this beautiful log book truly one-of-a-kind, you can personalise it with your loved one’s name or the name of their sail boat. This unique and special touch transforms this practical yachting accessory into a memorable, and deeply personal, keepsake of voyages past and those yet to come that is sure to be passed down and treasured forever.
