This new edition of this comprehensive guide to the Isles of Scilly has been completely revised and updated. The background information on the islands, their history and flora and fauna has been expanded and this new edition also sees the introduction of useful waypoints. The Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation's guide is a must for anyone planning an extended visit to this beautiful archipelago on the edge of the Atlantic. Includes free mobile download: Imray digital charts for the English Channel.

For more than 80 years The Shell Channel Pilot has been the ultimate authority on English Channel navigation and pilotage. Following the pioneering work of the legendary Adlard Coles, the book was passed to Captain John Coote RN in 1982. In his comparatively short, ten-year tenure, John Coote expanded the coverage from the English coast to include northern France. He also applied a characteristic humour to the shoreside aspect of the text which has been enthusiastically adopted by Tom Cunliffe, the present and third compiler of this unique work. This is a revised 8th edition published by Imray under Cunliffe's hand.

'Shell' is more than a harbour guide. It also provides a reassuring hand on the shoulder for Channel navigation, with useful passage notes gleaned from the compiler's personal experience of more than 40 years running the tides and finding the eddies. His frank remarks regarding harbour and recreational facilities have long been relied upon by sailors of all generations and nationalities. While leading to some enlightening secrets, they have been known to cause landlords whose establishments fall short of the required standard to lose the will to live.

Working with harbourmasters and a dedicated group of carefully selected yachtsmen and women, Cunliffe has kept this pilot as up to date as is humanly possible. More than being technically sound, which is to be expected from a Yachtmaster Examiner, the book is also a thoroughly enjoyable read.

Imray Digital Charts: Free mobile download A voucher code to download the relevant Imray digital charts into Imray Navigator (the Imray app for iOS and Android) is included with the paper edition of this book.

The West Country is a brand new cruising guide covering Lyme Bay to Land's End and the Isles of Scilly. It provides essential sailing directions and detailed listings of facilities together with a wealth of information for those wishing to learn about the West Country and enjoy trips ashore. Part of the coastline has World Heritage Status and its geological history is described. Human settlement is traced and the reader is given guidance to find the oldest European fossil of modern man and numerous bronze age remains. Seahorses, dolphins, birds and flowers are discussed as is the history of the cream tea, which comes with a recipe for scones! People of significance, who were born or moved here, such as Sir Francis Drake, William Cookworthy and Agatha Christie, are also included, together with information on the atmospheric railway, the mining and fishing industry and, of course, the Cornish pasty. All the information relevant to a passage, harbour or anchorage is arranged for easy access. Aerial photographs have been taken by Patrick Roach. Ordnance Survey road maps and larger scale town plans help pinpoint facilities ashore. The West Country and Imray charts for the southwest of England provide a comprehensive package for all visitors arriving by boat.

A comprehensive waypoint pilot for both sides of the English Channel, from the Isles of Scilly to Ramsgate, and Calais to the Chenal du Four. Includes the Channel Islands and over 50 cross-channel routes. This Waypoint Guide has been compiled for the convenience of anyone who uses electronic systems for navigating the popular cruising areas of the English Channel, under sail or power. The waypoints presented in this guide have certainly been set with safety in mind, but they have also been chosen to be practical in all kinds of passage-making circumstances, whether yachts are pottering fairly close inshore within a local area, cruising between neighbouring coastal areas, or arriving on a particular stretch of coast after a longish offshore passage. Near the front of the guide is a set of charts, waypoints and routes for crossing different sections of the English Channel. In full colour with charts devised by Jane Cumberlidge

Secret Anchorages of Brittany provides concise pilotage directions for practically all the natural anchorages along the Brittany coast, from the Bay of Mont St Michel round to the great estuary of the Loire. As with the first edition, the anchorages start near Cap de la Hague on the Cotentin Peninsula and include Iles Chausey. The book enters Brittany waters near Cancale and follows the whole 300-mile coastline, with its rivers, estuaries and offshore islands, looking into every nook and cranny on the way. This stylish second edition includes many new anchorages and is lavishly illustrated in colour, while the anchorage charts have been redrawn and verified against the Admiralty or French SHOM charts. The pilotage sections are peppered with short features on the maritime traditions, life and history of this inimitable coast. Peter Cumberlidge is a well known writer and photographer who cruises widely under sail and power. He always returns to Brittany with affection and the new Secret Anchorages reflects his sympathy for this fabulous cruising area, the people who live here and the superlative seafood for which the coast is justly renowned.

"The coverage of the Isles of Scilly is excellent and easy to follow." - Royal Cruising Club

"For those familiar with this classic pilot book its qualities have grown with each successive edition and this 8th edition is no exception. Comprehensive, simple to navigate, beautifully illustrated and bursting with useful information. Port plans are detailed and crisp, their utility enhanced by approach and aerial photographs. Everything is here to plan a cruise and stay safe in this sometimes unforgiving area on the edge of the Atlantic. I can find no fault with this volume and would find it inexplicable if anyone other than a local skipper undertook any significant West Country cruise without one on board." - Cruising Association

"The latest edition of West Country Cruising Companion continues the valuable role of being both an excellent pilot guide to some of the very finest cruising grounds around our coast and also providing that local knowledge of the many attractions ashore, the pubs and restaurants that make this such a wonderful place to sail. Mark Fishwick's encyclopaedic knowledge of the area will find favour to those new to the West Country and also those already familiar with its charms. It should find a place on any boat bound for the south west." - Little Ship Club

Centred on Cowes and covering the area from Keyhaven and Yarmouth to Chichester and Bembridge, this guide delves into the spiritual home of sailing.

The famous established works of reference for the Solent by Peter Bruce, first published in 1985, and now in its sixth edition. The new enlarged book again gives pilotage data for the avoidance of Solent perils accompanied by aerial photographs taken at extreme low water spring tide that reveal them in a most explicit manner but also gives details of lovely little-known creeks and inlets.

The new larger sized edition contains a multitude of gems of Solent lore within its pages, in addition to colour pictures of remarkable and dramatic clarity.

The conveniently sized booklet follows a succession of popular tidal stream atlases created by Peter Bruce since 1993. He has used material from his own records plus information obtained from organisations for scientific research such as the latest data from ABPmer at Southampton.

The book's introduction clarifies every common tidal supposition and may come as a surprise to some.

The charts, which relate to six hours before and after High Water Portsmouth, extend from the south west Shingles Buoy in the west, to the Forts in the east and south to Bembridge Ledge.

As before, the rate and direction of the stream is for a Portsmouth range equivalent to mean spring tide.

The clear and easy to use booklet uses tough waterproof paper and is very reasonably priced.
