I am looking for some used charts fo next summer's sailing season: BBA
chart kits for region 7 (Florida east coast and keys); region 6 ( Norfolk to
Jacksonville, Fla.); region 4 ( Chesepeake and Delaware Bays); and region 3
(New york, Nantucket, Cape May, NJ).

If anyone wants to part with theirs ... or knows where I can purchase them
.... I'd appreciate a reply. Are there retail marine stores which deal in
used charts?

You can get all of those charts in electronic form for free:

Thanks, nice link!
Wow. 4 hours later, MsS+T in one monitor, chart navigator on another,
and Google earth on a third. The whole thing. Are there any more
charts available? Only 1018? Where is the rest of the world?

The rest of the world is still in the BD (before democracy) age. In the UK
we have vested interests which control the free access to what we taxpayers
have been paying for since George the Third. It's called Crown Copyright,
and if you are a US citizen, your War of Indepence freed you from this
drivel. You are very lucky, but NOAA can't overule foreign restrictive
practises such as this, more's the pity!

I have a fair assortment of charts and chartbooks of varying age and
condition for all those areas and since my wife and I are planning to head
up towards the Bras d'Or Lakes next season instead of another jaunt south,
perhaps we might do some swapping? I just this week got The Cruising Guide
to the Nova Scotia Coast and The Yachting Guide to the Alantic Coast of Nova
Scotia but am particularly interested in charts and additional local
information for the Nova Scotia, PEI and Bras d'Or region. If interested
please contact me off list at jsodell at gmaildotcom.

Instead of soliciting used and perhaps out-of-date charts, why don't
you just download the free up-to-date ones now made available by NOAA?

Maybe he, like me prefers paper charts.

You can also "Print" out the charts you download from the above site.
They are the most up to date charts around.

Well, I've made "flip" books of electronic charts and they are great as
a cockpit piloting aid. However, for the pencil navigator they have
some problems:

1) Having them printed full size will likely cost more than buying full
sized used charts.
2) Printing them less than full size makes them harder to read, harder
to work on and results in less accurate chart work.
3) Printers can introduce errors including distortions, skipped areas,
smudged areas and ghosting. Navigators using LORAN need to take
particular care.
4) Paper and ink quality are likely to be inferior and less water
resistant than government printed charts.
5) Printing at home takes time and if high quality paper, ink and
coatings are used can be expensive, too.

So, buying used charts makes a good deal of sense to me when new charts
are not in the budget or as a back-up to an electronic chart plotting
system.

Hmm.....maybe because he isn't allowed to download them to his proprietary,
locked up GPS plotter in the boat without paying some cartography company
$120/chart they got for free at taxpayer expense?

I think that's a valid reason....(c;
