mbird Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Thank you for posting that Perry.... Novice question now; what is the best way of updating your charts? A fine black permanent pen would be my guess, drawing the new symbol where it needs to be and crossing off the old one. Is that somewhere right? Do you draw an arrow from the old locations to the new when things move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senator Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I'm a novice at this Mark so don't take my word but I think it is usually a magenta fine tipped pen so you can see that it is one you've added. I tend to just put a cross through those that are out dated, think you would end up with totally unreadable charts very quickly if you draw arrows everywhere.

Where does one buy such a thing? Would Staples have them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodall_m1 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 You may find http://www.ukho.gov.uk/ProductsandServices/Leisure/Documents/ALDNMs/Keeping-Admiralty-Leisure-Charts-Up-to-Date.pdf useful. I picked up a couple of fine pens, black and magenta from a supplier on Ebay but that was a few years ago now. They don't get a lot of use, as I am well behind in my corrections... I tend to try to correct my leisure folios just before I go back to an area, as I don't get out on the Salty stuff in command that often. The trouble is that a Leisure folio can build up an awful lot of corrections as it has several charts of some areas (at different scales). I still have nightmares after having to add the Gunfleet Sands windfarm! Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbird Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 a magenta fine tipped pen Where would one obtain said item? I tried Staples today but could see nothing like that...... I'm sure I remember seeing some links on another thread but can't find it now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigid-Mary Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Rod, I think you mean Charity and Taylor in Lowestoft, they are still there. Foxs do a Blundell Harding chart correction kit, bit expensive but it has the pens and a template. SCD at Woodbridge (Melton) do them as well. UKHO have just issued new charts for Approaches to Gt Yarmouth and lowestoft to take into account the Buoyage changes done in November. New issue date was 23/12/10, just bought them last week Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbird Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I managed to find a magenta fine tipped permanent pen in the art department of Jarrolds in Norwich at the weekend. Only £1.10 too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
