THE SHELL CHANNEL PILOT

The South Coast of England & The North Coast of France

 

Now in it's 5th Edition, this classic guide has been thoroughly revised. Tom Cunliffe has rewritten much of the text to expand his assessment of ports and harbours and in his inimitable way descibes more thoroughly the facilities to be found. More ground level shots have been included and many of the aerials updated. The Shell Channel Pilot now includes tidal streams for Alderney and has been extended to cover the French Island of Ouessant (Ushant).

The bible for the English Channel and a proper companion both onboard and in the armchair at home.

The Shell Channel Piot has been the Standard authority for the South Coast of England and the North Coast of France since the 1930s when Adlard Coles´ original pilot was first published. Over the years is has been continuously revised and improved, and this latest Imray edition has been rigorously re-worked.

There are new introductory sections on the Channel, passage-making notes, illustrated pages on wildlife, and data about ferry routes. Port information has been extended to include Ushant (Ouessant). The sailing directions have been updated throughout, and in many instances expanded by the addition of more ground-level photographs. New aerial photographs are provided where required.

Most of the pilotage directions have been re-written for this fifth edition, and the author´s honest, accurate and inimitably entertaining view of what he has found ashore makes The Shekk Channel Pilot an inspiration.

This is not only the essential working reference for anyone sailing on the South Coast, the Channe islands, Brittany and Normandy, it is also a breath of fresh salt air for long evenings and planning summer cruising. There is no guide like it.
