In 2024 nothing happened. This week they have just replied saying it doesn't warrant an NtM but will be forwarded to local contact who may issue a local notice. I am not holding my breath.

Did they update the chart?
If not send them a picture of the sunk vessel in this tread and ask if they are happy that they would not be liable for any future accidents / sinkings if aware of dangers but don’t update charts (UKHO seems a bit paranoid about liability nowadays).

In the days when I had some contact with the UKHO they referred to small corrections to depths etc., sent in by mariners, as “P&O Corrections”, and were a bit sniffy about them.
I think it possible that they might be even sniffier about corrections sent in by yachtspeople.

Wonder if @tillergirl knows (how to get taken seriously by UKHO) or could add credibility?

What about sliding a longer pole (long enough be visible at HW springs) over each of them? I’m loath to add plastic to the seas but a length of drain pipe over each would do it. I’d be happy to source pipes and go and install them but I accept they’d be a bit of an eyesore in a really nice part of the world. Wouldn’t want to ruffle any feathers.

Seems a very good idea. I was toying with tying buoys/fenders but that seems better. A friend of a friend flew his drone over this morning, wasn't quite sure where to look, and the three posts he found were yet more posts in addition.

Yes, I can submit an H102, of course. Alan, will you PM me with your provenance of the lat/longs. I am not doubting you but the H102 requires some provenance to support accuracy, e.g. what kit, how close to the actual poles.etc.
