Want To Buy: Paper Charts of South America

[Doug Brown]

Hi - still need to buy a few more paper charts of So. America.

Prefer BA or DMA or ones published by country's government.

Copies of charts are last choice, but may still be interested.

Looking for mainly detail or coastal charts of:

Guyana
Suriname
French Guana
Brazil
Uruguay
Argentina (overall & coastal)
Chile - Southern tip (overall & coastal)

Let me know what you have (chart number and BA/DMA, etc) and price.

And thanks to a couple of people for the info on electronic charts of the area!

Still looking for the charts!

Somebody must have some that they no longer need.

Let me know what you have.

I'm Brazilian and I can buy some of the carts that you need.
I intend to cruise from Fort Lauderdale to Rio in January and I'll need those charts too.

Hi Sergio -

I am mainly looking for used charts that are cheap.

However, what is the price of the charts that you are looking at?

Thanks,

Doug

Hi Doug,
I'll take a look in my Schooner here in Brazil that has old Brazil Charts, to give to you.
When do you need them?

[Doug Brown]

Hi Serigo -

Double WOW!!

I've always loved schooners! And the charts sound like what I need.

Plan is to leave around January/February.

How does this work into your schedule?

Best regards,

Doug

You can get for free all the charts for Argentina from this site:
SHN - Cartas Raster
Those are raster charts.
Also you can get for free the charts for brasil.
If you need paper, they cost about u$s 15 each.
Let me know if I can help you in other way.
regards, marcelo

I am not sure the status of your search but remember seeing Brazilian charts free for download from Brazilian HO. Pretty complete set, except for few that were in the pipeline back then.

They are updated and can be printed in a printshop of your choice. Also on any printer onboard.

I bought a Hi Star 55 in Fort Lauderdale and intend to cruise to Brasil, crossing Bahamas and Caribe also in January.
What kind of boat do you have? Let's go together?
