Admiralty Leisure Charts and Leisure Chart Folios

Admiralty Leisure Charts:

Important Note: From late 2010 much of this range is being discontinued, check with an Admiralty Dealer.

The Leisure Editions' series consists of Admiralty paper charts, specially selected and printed for the leisure user. Re-published with a new edition everytime the standard chart on which it is based is updated, the range is perfect for small craft mariners who don't have the requirements, or the space, for a large number of paper charts.


Leisure Editions contain exactly the same information as standard Admiralty Charts, but are printed on High Wet Strength paper, specifically designed to absorb less water and stand up to more rigorous use. Those used to using the heavy cartridge paper of the standard Admiralty charts will find that these are exact copies but on shinier cheaper paper.


The back of each chart contains a wealth of highly useful data including Coastguard, Radio, environmental and weather info, along with IALA Maritime Buoyage System Data. In addition, each chart includes a copy of the IMO table of Life Saving Signals. Carriage of Admiralty Leisure Editions satisfies MCA Regulation V/29 relating to leisure craft.

To aid storage and use, Leisure Editions are folded to a smaller, more convenient size than standard charts (about the same size as an OS Map), and are presented in a waterproof plastic wallet.

Coverage

Leisure Edition chart coverage is extensive and includes most areas of UK coastline, from the Irish Sea and Bristol Channel, up to Liverpool, Holyhead and the Firth of Clyde, and back down to the Solent, the South Coast of Devon and Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly, Jersey and Guernsey. Coverage also stretches as far as the north coast of France to include Normandy, Calais and the English Channel.
