Poole Harbour in Imray’s series of charts, which are comprehensive & easy-to-use sailing charts published on rip-proof, waterproof paper- ideal to be used on small tables or in cockpits. They show detailed coastline & depth information, & are constantly corrected to reflect latest information. The C Charts offer coverage for cruising on larger-size sheets; they are suitable for offshore passage making & the medium scales chosen also allow safe inshore navigation. Each chart contains insets showing local harbours annotated with symbols indicating what facilities can be found there (marinas, mooring & berth facilities, fuel, water, chandlers, etc.). Depths are shown in metres. Charts are fully updated to the latest printing date, & often include further corrections on a separate sheet. Subsequent corrections can be found on the Imray website. Positions referring to WGS84 Datum, such as most GPS readings, can be plotted directly onto these charts. Base cartography uses contours, several levels of colour shading, & spot measurements to indicate depth relative to Lowest Astronomical Tide, including distinct colour highlighting for tidally-covered l&. A large number of hatchings & markings are used to indicate coast types, salt flats, marshl&, etc. Compliant IALA ‘ System A’ buoys are clearly marked, & indications of other navigational aides such as light floats are given where possible. Lighthouses are clearly marked with arcs of visibility. A complex & comprehensive system of symbols is used to indicate all types of submerged obstructions, including wrecks, rocks, pipelines & cables, with depths where known. Flood tides, eddies races, ebb tide streams & other current information is given. A wide range of symbols indicate onshore features, anchorages, harbour details & other points of note. Danger areas, restricted areas & traffic zones are all shown. ...

Naming a boat is as personal as naming a baby (even if few male skippers would risk telling the wife that). The culmination of many years of dreaming & penny pinching, the purchase of a boat of any size is a huge event for any sailor, & with that comes serious naming pressure. Many boatowners have a secret fear that someone else got their brilliantly original name first
- or ruined it for ever by reducing its reputation to snigger-worthy opprobrium. Sometimes it`s so difficult to name a boat that skippers are desperate enough to ask the sorts of people who think Boaty Mc Boatface would be a good choice... The perfect gift for any skipper or would-be skipper, & featuring hundreds of common & uncommon names, this entertaining little book will answer perhaps the most important question new owners should ask themselves: what will this name say about me? & as everyone knows, once you`ve named a boat, you never ever change it, so it also answers the question: what is my boat name saying about me? Names will be categorised & listed alphabetically within these chapters:- Pun Intended (some reveal a classic wit, others reveal just how many desperate unfunny dullards there are sailing around in yachts called Seas the Day)- Common as Muck (bad names
- Moondancer, Wave Catcher & others that sound like names from a bad children`s novel: where they come from, why they`re bad, & how to avoid inventing another)- A Bit of Pedigree (good names
- but probably too classy for you to get away with copying them)- Don`t Even Go There (they might be uncommon these days, but sometimes there`s a good reason for that)- Word Piracy (expressions borrowed from other languages
- with varying degrees of wisdom)- Myths, Legends & Gods (inspired by heroes & deities of cultures now lost to the past)- The Devil`s Own (don`t tempt fate by calling your boat Invincible, as the Royal Navy did each time the last one sank/exploded
- plus other superstition-violating names) With fascinating history, a fair bit of psychology & a lot of humour, this is the essential guide for all would-be boat owners, & anyone buying a gift for Dad for Father`s Day or Christmas.
