correcting old Imray Charts.

[MarkGrubb]

Does anyone know an online source for Imray correction notices for old charts? Maybe some sort of archive.

Once an old edition of an Imray chart has been superceded it's no longer possible to download correction notices for it from their website. I've a couple of charts that I haven't used for a few years, so not kept upto date. I want to bring them upto date, so need old correction notices.

Prefer not to fork out for the latest edition. The charts are perfectly servicable, just need updating.

Thanks,

Mark.

You can correct them from the Notices to Mariners that UKHO publish for their own charts. Find the UKHO charts that cover the same area and look up the corrects for those - I think they are available on the web for the past 5 years or so.

Tha same thing applies - once the Admiralty publsh a new edition, there is a disconnect, so all changes will not have been notified on the NMs. The old charts, therefore, cannot be kept up to date.
Buy new charts - they're only about sixteen quid each. Replacing charts is a basic part of their maintenance, an obsolete chart is, well, obsolete.

Actually that is not so. The time it takes to publish new charts is such that they continue to publish the corrections for the old while the new is being printed, and those same corrections have to be applied to the new chart as soon as it is printed. Therefore if you apply all the corrections then you will find yourself up to date with all major changes.

Doubly so where the same area is covered on two different charts (and that is usually the case)
