Dear Cruiser,

welcome to my website!This is the first time that there is something like an information centre regarding yacht piracy. While writing my book PIRATES ABOARD! I have been aware how important such a centre for bluewater sailors can be.
The idea of this website is to provide as much information as possible, like the dangerous areas and how to avoid attacks.
We will inform various authorities, magazines, cruising clubs worldwide. Especially authorities like customs, police, navy, coast guard in countries with strong pirate activities will be sent details of my book and about the peril in their waters.
As soon as you hear of any new pirate attacks please send me your information by email.
Like hijacking of air planes came to an end in the seventies I am working to help stopping yacht piracy as well.

Cheers and fair winds,

Klaus Hympendahl
