Sources of second hand charts

[eddystone]

Anyone know of a source of second hand charts? Specifically looking for Imray 2500 Channel Islands set and Admiralty or Imray detailed Falmouth Harbour/Helford River.

I have bought a few times from www.chartsales.co.uk , good products of all levels of "secondhandedness"

Or try ebay but check dates - some are vintage!

I've got an Admiralty Folio one of Falmouth Harbour dated 2000 & an Imray one of Helford River dated 2002. Depends on what you want 'em for.

My chart table. Unfortunately as that is in my boat which is in Valencia the chance of you or I getting to them anytime soon is slim!!!

Yep, that 'ChartSales' contact is an excellent one. They used to have premises in Wellingborough, but seems to have moved operations to home.
You will be dealing with a family business who correct old charts right up to date, not for just us yachties, but ship out whole portfolios to the likes of tankers negotiating the the Straits of Hormuz, yet still have time for the likes of us.

If you are anywhere near Plymouth then Marine Bazaar Chandlery have a huge pile of old charts.

If you want to look at specific areas online, then C Map is free. I appreciate the need for physical paper charts for an overview/planning, but I find the C Map one useful to look in detail at areas I've not been to before.

C-MAP Chart Explorer: Zoom in to see the rich detail in our data.

In my previous post I forgot to mention that you could buy membership of Visit My Harbour as they have all the UK Admiralty charts online.

I believe ChartSales, who I.hzve used before, no longer do second hand charts.
But I have in the past bought, paper and electronic, through eBay and the Cruising Association

Or Bogey Knights in Plymouth - good size pile to look through there. Unsorted, various dates and parts of the world. Interesting place.
