http://o-charts.org is trying a new approach to expand their portfolios of vector charts for OpenCPN - Crowdfunding.
It's based on an initiative from the Swedish Cruising Association.

Right now 130 persons have signed up for the deal, so it's very likely that the project will be successful.
While the price is steeper than the corresponding charts for UK, this is by far, the best deal around for Swedish charts.

The price for the complete set of 580 charts in EUR will be around 59 € depending on VAT in each country. Updates during one year included. Like all other oeSENC charts for OpenCPN, the charts do not disappear from the computer or the disc after the license has expired, just updating ends. Of course a renewed license will bring new updates on the desk.
The crowdfunding action is running until June 15, 2018 longest. We will need at least 150 subscribers to go ahead. With 150 licenses sold, all costs for server and other hardware are not fully covered, but the idea is that once initiated, hopefully there will be a spread in Sweden and the world around so eventually we will be more than the first 150. In case we don't reach our target the subscription will be paid back automatically. No risk.
