Not sure how much interest these may or may not be for your West Coast Passage. You need 'proper' charts as well. But these are very detailed and bloody cheap. Although only cover very small areas...
i only need big charts from imray. i cannot have all the detailed ones. and to be honest a paper chart on a rib during a round of britain ...is not really easy to work with. but i have to follow laws and have those onboard...
Ah well those West Coast of Scot ones are electronic (i'm sure some smart person could print em but I agree not what you want/need on a RIB as paper charts).
You do need paper chart if all your electrics fail...

Well as someone that cruises on the west I use them as well as the plotter. There only harbours and anchorages which overprint on to Google earth then strait print. Useful I going for first time. I hold them all in a wallet on the rib.

So you cant get 'em on your plotter? Or you prefer 'em on paper? Not sure the round Britain guys are going to have much time to stop and explore the WCoS which is a tragic shame really...
You can't get them on plotter there download from site. You can use Earth then print out. No the guys won't have time I was just pointing out the main point and use of the charts here in 'The west'

There were quite a few issues with electronics on the RI2013. Personal observations were that HMS lost his VHF antenna and TMS had extensive electronics failure at least once. However the reality was that most craft were operating in groups, so the risks were very small.
