Cruising Anglesey and Adjacent Waters by Ralph Morris

Cruising Anglesey and Adjoining Waters
By: Ralph Morris

Ralph Morris's guide to the island of Anglesey and coast from Liverpool to Pwllheli was first published over 20 years ago and has always been closely associated with The Northwest Venturers Yacht Club based in Beaumaris.

It is the definitive pilot to Anglesey and the Menai Strait, an area that provides fine cruising and wonderful anchorages.

This new (2009) edition of Cruising Anglesey and Adjoining Waters, the third to be published by Imray, is now in full colour. Throughout the text has been updated and the charts revised. The authors clear sailing directions are now illustrated with new photographs many of which are from the air.

The area is now also covered by Imray's new chart pack 2700 North and West Wales.

The perfect companion to Imray Charts and Admiralty Charts alike.

Imray publishes new 6th edition of Tom Cunliffe's best-selling Shell Channel Pilot

The Shell Channel Pilot
South coast of England, the North coast of France and the Channel Islands
By: Tom Cunliffe

The Shell Channel Pilot stands alone as the ultimate authority on cruising both sides of the English Channel. Ever since the 1930s, when Adlard Coles published the original version, it has been steadily upgraded and updated. The work never ceases. Under the Imray / Cunliffe house flag since 1992, it represents more than eighty years of effort.

This is the sixth (2010)Imray edition, indicating that the book is re-issued every three years in the untiring endeavour to keep it up to date. This time, the text has been organised into defined sections. Each is prefaced by passage notes which are more comprehensive than previously, lifting the work far above any simple harbour guide. Also included is advice about Channel-crossing navigation, regulations, health and paperwork on both sides of the water. Best of all remain the pilotage notes, the plans, the aerial and approach shots for harbours great and obscure, plus the author's frank remarks about shoreside facilities. The net result is unique - rigorous navigation advice to pilot you safely through the rocks, spiced with a light touch guaranteed to raise a salty chuckle on winter evenings while you plan next summer's voyaging.

As a guide and a shipmate, there is nothing like it.

The perfect companion to Imray Charts and Admiralty Charts alike.
