Biscay Charts and Pilot Question

[ign]

Could someone offer advice if this is a good set of charts for a Biscay crossing, if anything is missing or additional?

BA chart no. 1094 Rias de Ferrol Areas, Betanzos and La Coruna 1:25'000
BA chart no. 3633 Islas Sisargas to Montedor 1:200'000
IMRAY chart no. IC 18 Biscay Passage Chart Fastnet to La Coruna
IMRAY chart no. IC 43 Santander to A Coruna (incl. portplans)
NP22 Bay of Biscay Pilot from BA (is it better to get Atlantic Spain & Portugal IMRAY pilot or the 2006 South Biscay from RCC?)
IMRAY chart no. IC 10 Western English Channel Passage Chart 1:400'000
SHOM chart no. 7123 Ele Moléne - Ile d'Ouessant-Passage du Fromveur 1:20'000
SHOM chart no. 7172 De la Pointe de Saint-Mathieu a la Chaussée de Sein 1:50'000
Navicart no. 540-542 Ile d'Ouessant-Argaenton-Brest-Douarnenez 1:50'000

Also, does anyone have any indication if finding a long term berth in La Coruna is any problem for a 10m boat?

many thanks,

is this a crossing or a coast-hop? Sounds like you're intending to end in La Coruna - from where?
If you go out to 9.30 -10 west then straight down, all the charts are superfuous. -and it's probably safer out there, less chance of being 'embayed'.
one more thought, If you're on the way South why not get round Finisterre in the same voyage, then it is daysailing all the way if you want.

Plan is to do this in two ~9 day (1 week) hops this year weather permitting, from the Solent to Brest and then across to Spain. Plan is to eventually head further south, but restricted on time.
