Synopsis

The Reeds Western Almanac is ideal for any boater lucky enough to cruise and race in the superb waters off the coast of Scotland or Ireland. It offers ready access to essential navigatio information by virtue of its clear layout and user-friendly format. Topics include pilotage, tides, safety, navigation, radio, lights, waypoints, weather forecast information around UK and European waters, communications, Mayday and distress procedures. Spiral binding allows the almanac to be opened flat on the chart table and the large type size and clearer improved layout makes information easy to read even in adverse conditions. Covering the coastline from Cape Wrath to Padstow as well as the whole of Ireland, it is the complete guide for both Irish and Scottish mariners as well as those cruising the UK west coast. Free supplements of up to date navigation changes available from January to July.
