. The Polar Guide offers advice and guidance to yacht owners planning on cruising those areas where the remoteness and climate pose particular demands. In many, there are no, or minimal, facilities for supplies, repairs, medical aid or crew changes. SAR resources may be minimal or non-existent. It is imperative that vessels visiting these areas are crewed, prepared, and equipped to be self-reliant.
