New Imray Digital Charts for 2010
New editions of Imrays award-winning digital charts ID10, ID20, ID30 and ID40 are now available. A new folio has been added to the series - ID100 Eastern Caribbean.
For 2010 the presentation and registration procedure has been changed.
The digital chart folios are now supplied on USB sticks and instead of purchasing a folio for a calendar year which had disadvantages for those buying the CD late in the season, the registration code provides access to quarterly updates which include any new editions and improvements as well as corrections for a year from the date of registration. In subsequent years existing users will be able to purchase new registration codes at a discount.
Imray Digital Charts are also interfaced with Meridian’s Tidal Prediction software which is also now published on USB memory sticks.

Hidden Harbours of Southwest England
By: Dag Pike
A tour of over 30 minor harbours around the coasts of southwest Britain. Illustrated with evocative colour photography, Dag Pike’s narrative brings to life a contrasting collection of small historic harbours, which although infrequently visited have a fascinating story to tell.
Hidden Harbours of Southwest Britain aims to paint a picture of what harbours were like in the past and what they are like now. They can make an interesting alternative for visiting yachtsmen looking for somewhere off the beaten track to visit and explore, perhaps by small tenders.
They can tempt visitors looking to trace the industrial archaeology of harbours and the reasons for its rise and decline, or walkers along the coastal paths.
Many of the harbours were built to last and they can be rich in history and rewarding to visit both by land and sea.
Isles of Scilly
By: RCC Pilotage Foundation/Graham Adams
The long awaited new edition of this comprehensive guide to the Isles of Scilly has been completely revised and updated.
Throughout tere are new photos including aerial views taken by Patrick Roach. The background information on the islands, their history and flora and fauna has been expanded and this new edition sees the introduction of useful waypoints.
The RCCPF's new guide is a must for anyone planning an extended visit to this beautiful archipelago on the edge of the Atlantic.
