Charts and maps

I am of an age that prefers paper to mere screens - what if the earth falls off and all the electrics go? You have to have some sort of paper as well as the chart plotter. And paper is so much nicer to handle both at the chart table and in the cockpit, but it is expensive - at least the Admiralty charts that I have bought over the years are. But you don't these days have to have a huge collection of standard charts of the sort used on merchant ships, but the folio packs which cover the main cruising areas around the UK - you need SC5611, from Kintyre to Ardnamurchan (West Coast of Scotland) which covers almost all the anchorages on this website. I am not an Imray Charts person for no very good reason other than I started off with Admiralty charts and like my bank haven't changed my habits (at least not until I left RBS in disgust following the financial crisis in 2009).

As for maps, you can't do better than the Ordnance Survey maps of the area - brilliant.

On this website I have used links to the appropriate bits of Multimap.
