August 7, 2014: Free Cruising Guides has announced the forthcoming release of A Cruising Guide to the ABC Islands in Spanish. A Cruising Guide to the Dominican Republic and A Cruising Guide to Puerto Rico are currently available in Spanish, and this guide will mark the 3rd translation in the series.

Published 10 years ago, updated 5 years ago

Dr. Catherine Hebson, director of Free Cruising Guides, said that all 11 of the guides offered by Free Cruising Guides (www.freecruisingguides.com) will be offered in Spanish by the end of the year at a rate of approximately one per month.  She said that the company is very committed to the users of the guides and is working hard to anticipate cruiser needs and make the guides the go-to resource for sailors whether they are actively cruising or in the planning stages.

The editor of Free Cruising Guides, Nathalie Virgintino, said that the decision to make the translations were based on the many inquiries that the company is receiving, in particular from Spanish speaking cruisers, to have the guides available in their native language.

It is the company’s hope that with the advent of the Spanish editions the download rate of the guides, currently at an annualized rate of more than 35,000 copies, will continue to increase.
