This PDF file contains all the amendments for the above volume of the CCC Sailing
Directions issued since the edition date shown. They are grouped by the date of issue
and listed by page number. Plans are included only where major changes have been
made or when certain amendments are difficult to describe.
Users should be aware that the amendments to this website are not made with the same
frequency as those issued by official hydrographic and navigational sources . Accordingly
it remains necessary for those who use the CCC Sailing Directions as an aid to navigation
to consult the most recent editions of Admiralty charts, all relevant Notices to Mariners
issued by the UKHO, NLB, Port Authorities and others in order to obtain the latest
information.
!Caution
Whilst the Publishers and Author have used reasonable endeavours to ensure the accuracy of the contents of the
Sailing Directions, and these amendments to them, they contain selected information and thus are not definitive
and do not include all known information for each and every location described, nor for all conditions of weather
and tide. They are written for yachts of moderate draft and should not be used by larger craft. They should be used
only as an aid to navigation in conjunction with official charts, pilots, hydrographic data and all other information,
published or unpublished, available to the navigator. Skippers should not place reliance on the Sailing Directions in
preference to exercising their own judgement.
To the extent permitted by law, the Publishers and Author do not accept liability for any loss and/or damage
howsoever caused that may arise from reliance on the Sailing Directions nor for any error, omission or failure to
update the information that they contain.
The plans in the Sailing Directions and amendments are not to be used for navigation. They are designed to support
the text and should at all times be used with navigational charts.
