Hi,

A year or so ago the RYA were selling HMSO Leisure Folios at a good discount to members but I can't find a similar offer now so an anyone tell me where I can find them at a good price ? Not considering Imray or other charts 'cos I don't like them.

Many thanks,

Boo2

I take it you mean UK Hydrographic Office. I buy mine from the Seachest Bookshop at QAB Marina in Plymouth (not being an RYA member I don't know how costs compare).
 
One thing that puts me off ordering folios on line is that many resellers don't say which edition.
Hence I purchase from a chandlery to save getting possibly old stock.

And if you want the one for the NW of Scotland, -- don't bother, because they don't produce one:mad:

The N. of Scotland seems to do badly altogether because there isn't one for the Orkneys etc either :mad: Bad news because you have to chase out and pay for the full size charts now the leisure series charts aren't available on their own either.

Yes, well we're kind of used to it. Some pillock of a weather forecast presenter on the BBC, referred to it as Nowheresville. It didn't go down very well.
 
hi Dash 4 cheapest place to buy, very quick turnaround. they do list the dates of all the folios. the highest you can get is SC5616 scotland west coast & outer hebridies 1st edition: Ardnamurchan to shiant islands. we purchased ours last year, now for sale with lots of others for a circumnavigation of uk. as we on our way back so no longer needed.
 
Rival Redwing - It just happens to be in this week's Notices to Mariners. If you go to my NtM service at http://www.crossingthethamesestuary.com/page9.html and you will see it at the top of the weekly list. This is the advance warning. To see what the latest edition is goto http://www.ukho.gov.uk/ProductsandServices/Leisure/Pages/leisure-products.aspx. This does not of course tell you what is coming up shortly. SC5607 - Thames Estuary, Ramsgate to Tower Bridge is currently edition 10 issued on 3rd June, 2010. If you want to check on notices to bring that up date, you can either go via the link on my site to the UKHO Leisure Folio notices or select the 'All Notices' button on my page 9 and then the relevant area (Havengore to Ramsgate is the most relevant) and there laid out are all the notices with explanatory images so you can quickly decide which ones arfe relevant to you.
 
Thanks. It's not a perfect match for charts be they UKHO or Imray but I tried to do it on the basis of where people might be based or cruise towards. Suggestions for improvements always welcome (well usually).
 
Just found, to my great relief, that there is a new (4th) edition of Folio SC5611, West Coast of Scotland.
I wasn't looking forward to doing amendments to what has become in the last 3 years, a pretty cluttered Folio.
Just have to find a supplier with the new edition in stock, it seems that there are rather a lot of 3rd editions still on the shelves.
