Yus, two....

And for those who don't, how the dickens d'you expect to read and understand a chart if you don't know the 'words'...?

I have a pdf version of US Chart 1 and paper copy of 5011. As UKHO publication is not most recent edition, I must find out what has been added or changed.

Nope, I've got "How to read a chart" or something similar, by Nigel Calder. It's basically 5011 with a few words and an index. I find it's a little better when come across the obscure symbols on the chart. Having said that, I can't imagine using either except when doing fairly leisurely passage planning.

5011.

It's like the tardis. Masses of info inside.

 

[colingr]

I've got one. Looks like:

Can't remember when I last referred to it though

 

[sarabande]

5011. but I paid £1.40 for it in 1982.


Occasionally I have been known to refer to more uptodate ones....

So, how is the fathom getting on?

I would say the rya book 'how to read a chart' counts as owning the chart.

Do you reckon this coloured stuff on the charts will catch on ?

Goes down a treat in the lounge Doesn't show up on a photocopy very well though.

The only coloured stuff on my charts is Marmite and Frank Cooper's Marmalade.

I bought one in the '70s when I did a YM shorebased course one winter. Come to think of it that was probably the last time I opened it.

A man of impeccable taste obviously!

I don't, but all my charts are Imray ones. I do have several copies of the Imray symbol sheet hanging around (you get one with each pack of charts) which I guess counts as the equivalent to 5011.

What I also have in the nav bookcase is a laminated sheet with all the C-Map symbols, even though I use my plotter fairly rarely - do those who use one full time know what all the symbols on it mean, and if not do they have a similar sheet?

I have edition 1 of 5011 (INT 1) published in 1991 following the IHO standard adopted in 1982

Maybe yours is more like my old 1973 one following an earlier IHO standard. Fathoms symbols on the left, metric symbols on the right.

 

[John100156]

Yep - 5011(Int 1) Edition 3

Only used it for my YM Theory and once when I couldn't remember what Cb meant to Nature of Seabed........ as I recall it meant cobblers

 

[VicS]

Cobbles not cobblers !

Never come across under sea shoe repairers But you get under water farriers off the Dorset coast.... fitting shoes to sea horses

Just thought I would lighten the mood a bit......
