Updating 'old' Admiralty charts - how?

[peter2407]

I have the Leisure Folio versions of SC 5600 (Solent and Approaches, 8th Edition January 2005) and SC 5601 (East Devon to Christchurch, 6th Edition January 2005). These charts have not been updated at all. When checking with www.admiraltyleisure.co.uk, there only seems to be NTM's for in the case of 5600 the 12th Edition. How do I get all updates for the older editions? Thanks as ever ....

You don't! Once a new issue is released all the past nms are removed and anyway there will be some changes making the new issue which have not been covered by nms.

Buy proper charts and update them regularly.

I don't bother updating charts unless it is something major (by my standards). I do always purchase a new almanac each year though. This goes on the theory that rocks don't move much and lights may change. My theory may be wrong but seems to work on the south coast .....last famous words!!

I think it worth mentioning that when buying new charts, they no longer have that extra bit of paper showing 'chart corrections'.

In other words, you may buy a chart tomorrow, the latest of which is dated 2005 but you have to go online to get the chart corrections from that date.

Or have I got it wrong ? http://www.ybw.com/forums/images/icons/icon11.gif

Hmmm. Looked at doing ours this year (we charter the boat, so they need to be current)

From memory the Solent folio update stretched to 16 pages,from little light corrections, to inclusion of the new break water/marina at "the squadron". (Not sure how you are suppose to make the big corrections on the chart!!)

Didn't even start to try and update the charts. Just put a copy of the corrections in the chart table!

What happens with electronic charts? (I don't have any) Can you electronically update them monthly or something?

Amendments

I still have pdf copies of the amendments to edition 8 of 5601 and edition 10 of 5600, both of which date back to 2006 (I really should clear out old files from my computer now and then). Pm me if you would like copies.
