The first of a series of laminated A5 cards, designed as aide-memoires for skippers approaching harbours where pilotage is complex and key decision making is required quickly and clearly.
For each harbour, a basic coloured, outline chart showing the main contours and drying areas, as well as navigational marks, is annotated with key comments on courses to steer, tides and direction changes. On most cards there is a captioned photograph and each harbour has an approach waypoint.
The first card in the Eyeball Chart Plotter series covers selected harbours in the Solent, and on the Isle of Wight it provides coverage for, amongst others, Bembridge, Chichester, Newtown River, Alum Bay and the Needles.
Each card is laminated and therefore waterproof, and attached to a lanyard, keeping them all together and easily accessible.
