Re: LOOKING FOR CHART HELP

Change the print size so you can see/read it better.

It's showing up fine online plus each user can make the size as large as he wants.

With Google Chrome for example you can click on the three vertical dots in the upper right hand corner and the size adjustment is there

Re: LOOKING FOR CHART HELP

Ocean Graphix will sell you the most updated charts--they print on demand. Landfall Navigation carries a good selection of coast pilots and sailing directions and cruising guides. Celestaire can sell you the Nautical Almanac and the H.O. 229 tables for sight reduction. These last now come in more affordable paperback editions than the old hardcover.
You'll need one big chart for the Atlantic, another for the Med, and then smaller-scale of everywhere you might go. You might try to get chartkits from NV charts, if they still do that.

Re: LOOKING FOR CHART HELP

The larger port captain's offices in Croatia used to sell chart portfolios, one for the southern half of the country and another for the northern half. They were very reasonably priced, with excellent detail. (That was twenty years ago, but I don't know why they'd stop).

Sheppard's of Gibralter sells Imray charts and cruising guides, and will also print British Admiralty charts on demand; if you don't mind waiting until closer to your destination to get them, they would probably cost a little less there than in the U.S. Imray's cruising guide for Croatia was excellent (we spent two full summers and part of another cruising there). The guide is now in its 8th edition.
