visitMyHarbour UK Pilotage and Harbour Information in a Box !

Pilotage in a box, no internet connection needed, read on:

This Digital Pilotage Guide is sold out now, sorry.

REASON: Everything in this guide is now incorporated into our latest "For Navigation" VisiChart package, which has all UK/Irish waters charts included too.

Even with the advances in mobile Internet, there are going to be times when you want the information provided by visitmyharbour, but do not have a connection. Maybe you use a laptop on your boat, possibly for navigation... or maybe you keep your boat free of all electronics.

In either case our latest effort, could be of great use. We've rummaged our harbour coverage thoroughly and interwoven it with our area coverage. The result we present in the box above is perhaps the most comprehensive source of information you will get (in one place) concerning the coastlines of the UK.

All of our much used and highly praised harbour and area coverage is now available in easy to print PDFs, for you to keep. Now you can have all of our 2010 information on a disk, or loaded onto your computer.

From Berwick-upon-Tweed in the North East, clockwise around to Tarbert in West Scotland. For full details of all the harbours we cover click here.

138 Harbours/Estuaries/Rivers and inlets are explored thoroughly. Pilotage directions, rules, hazards, tidal information. Berths, moorings, and marinas for visiting yachtsman with locations, contacts and prices. Shoreside facilities are explored.

650+ Pages absolutely packed with essential information for any small craft mariner making his way around the UK coastline. Print as required for use with your own paper charts, or use in digital form with your onboard laptop. No Internet connection needed.

When used online these digital pilots link directly to: Free printable chartlets (300+) and NP tidal flow atlases, seven-day wind/weather forecasts, seven-day tidal predictions.

Separate added bonus: Big ships sailing directions, NGA Publications 141,142, 191, 192. 844 pages covering all the UK, Ireland and both sides of the English Channel.

This beautifully packaged box contains over 1400 pages of sailing directions, an essential reference work.

These are produced by the Americans, not the UKHO. We've rounded these up, and included them in this package.

These downloads have the publication dates on them, and were obtained September 2010. PDFs, should work on all systems.

This box contains over 1400 pages of sailing directions, c/w photos. It is an essential reference work for those who sail the coastlines of the UK.

What it does NOT contain is charts (our licence only permits online charts). The PDFs link directly to the chart coverage viewable on www.visitmyharbour.com. Every harbour and area that we cover, has full ongoing free chart coverage, available to you directly via the links in the PDFs. Even if you're not a member you will always have access to the harbour charts.

You can access the charts online, screenshot the chartlets you want, then save or print as required.

If you are using these PDFs at sea and have a mobile connection, you can access 7 day tidal and weather information, again direct from the links.

Suggested uses:

Non electronic boats:

Print off the area/harbour coverage you need and use in conjunction with your own charts.
Non members, when online at home, use the links to gather and print free harbour chartlets.
Full members of VMH have 24/7 online access to ALL Home Waters (and many International) charts. Use screenshots/prints from these to accompany the pilotage.

Laptop on your boat ?

Use as an onboard digital pilot. Use in conjunction with your onboard chartplotter, or with chartlets you have previously saved from screenshots via VMH.
Got mobile broadband ? Get weather, tides and loads of local info, direct from the links in the PDFs.

This unusual and interesting work is no longer available as a separate work. We are clearing our stocks as this pilotage work is now incorporated into our VisiChart "For Navigation" chart package. VisiCharts combine satellite imagery and charts into a composite image, a GPS can be connected for positioning the boat. Find out more about VisiCharts
