Imray to release new Atlantic France Pilot Guide for Christmas

Atlantic France
North Biscay to the Spanish border
By: RCC Pilotage Foundation

'North Biscay' has been renamed Atlantic France to reflect the extended coverage to the Spanish border.

Jeremy Parkinson has revisited the West coast of France and, from his research over the past two years has produced this new renamed edition. Throughout, the harbour plans have been revised and in many case improved. In particular, the coverage of Brest now includes the new Marina du Chateau, large scale plans of the marinas at Lorient have been added and plans are provided of the small harbours in the Gironde.

At the north end the Brittany harbour of L'Aberwrac'h, the key to entering the Chenal du Four, is now included and in the south  Arcachon, Capbreton, Bayonne, St Jean de Luz and the Rada de Higuer up to the Spanish border are included.

Many of the photographs are new and at the end of 2009 Patrick Roach was commissioned to produce a new set of aerial photos and amongst these is unique coverage of Brest.

Atlantic France is the authoratitive cruising companion for this long and varied coastline and its publication will be welcomed by both first time visitors and old West coast of France hands.

For 2010 the presentation and registration procedure has been changed.

The digital chart folios are now supplied on USB sticks and instead of purchasing a folio for a calendar year which had disadvantages for those buying the CD late in the season, the registration code provides access to quarterly updates which include any new editions and improvements as well as corrections for a year from the date of registration. In subsequent years existing users will be able to purchase new registration codes at a discount.

Imray Digital Charts are also interfaced with Meridian's Tidal Prediction software which is also now published on USB memory sticks.
