Our philosophy is to provide large area charts for initial cruise area selection; smaller scale charts for closer examination of the proposed cruising area; and Pilot books, Reed's Almanac and access to up to date electronic charts for final planning.
We stock recent (latest edition or no more than 5 years old) UKHO Admiralty/Imray Charts covering passage planning for UK and Irish coasts, the current year's Reed's Atlantic European Almanac and current or recent editions (no more than 5 years old) of UK and Irish Pilot books.
For home waters (Scillies to North Foreland - drawer 1) and France North and West coasts including Channel Islands (drawer 2), the stock of local area charts will be maintained at newer than 5 years old or the latest edition. If using these, you should refer to the current Reed's and its online updates, or to the online UKHO "Searchable Notices to Small Craft", for the latest information and chart corrections.
We also have a large number of mostly local charts covering other parts of the UK and Atlantic Europe, parts of the Western Med, Caribbean, North American coast, Pacific and Indian Oceans, which are being withdrawn as they reach 20 years old.
Copies of the area/numerical index to the 600 or so charts are (1) in a blue folder on the map chest, (2) in each drawer of the chest, (3) accessed on this page under the appropriate area.
