The Macmillan Reeds Channel Almanac

by Basil D'Oliveira

The year 2003 sees the introduction of a massively improved Channel Almanac, in four colour and with the same level of detail as the main Macmillan Reeds Nautical Almanac. It offers ready access to essential information by virtue of its clear layout and user friendly format. The Channel Almanac covers the south coast of England from the Scilly Isles to Dover, the Channel Islands and the north coast of France from Calais to L'Aberildut. Topics include GPS, radio, weather, safety, area maps, waypoints, passage notes, tidal data and harbour chartlets - in fact everything the cruising yachtsman needs to know. It represents tremendous value at [pound]22.95. The Macmillan Reeds Channel Almanac is unrivalled for ease of use. The wire binding allows the almanac to be opened flat on the chart table and the data is easy to read even in adverse conditions. A very practical addition to the navigation station.
