Cruising Anglesey Image of Front Cover


Corrections to the 7th edition are discontinued as the new colour pilot is now published. See the Cruising Anglesey and Adjoining Waters Pilot Page for details.

For the latest Notices to Mariners, use the Admiralty's web search facility. An initial search for Amendments to Charts 1970, 1971, 1977, 1978 should identify most of the corrections relevant to vessels using the pilot.
