Old Charts
In an area like the Long Island Sound, how often should a chartkit be updated?
Are 5 or 8 year old charts useless? I'm getting a very wide variant of opinions on this one. Capt RB |

Old Charts
I've got some old charts of the City Island area from the 1930's. If I get
time, I'll send you a jpeg. "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... In an area like the Long Island Sound, how often should a chartkit be updated? Are 5 or 8 year old charts useless? I'm getting a very wide variant of opinions on this one. Capt RB |

updated? Are 5 or 8 year old charts useless? I'm getting a very wide variant of opinions on this one. Its a function of how frequently aids to nav are changed. Follow the notice to mariners and see how often changes hit your area. I had a chart for the Great South Bay that was 20 years old and it was fine, except all the buoys had their numbers changed, even though they were still in the same place. It made picking my way through a little tough but not impossible. |
