About this deal

In 2007 we celebrated the 75th anniversary of the first publication in 1932 of Reeds Nautical Almanac, now universally known as plain Reeds. In 1999 Nautical Data Ltd acquired the Almanac from Macmillan and re-named it Reeds Nautical Almanac. The well-liked Macmillan style and clear-cut layout was retained and still forms the basis of all subsequent editions. Meticulously researched, it includes a huge amount of information of value to small craft navigators: tide tables, tidal streams and tidal gates; secondary port differences; 2,500+ waypoints; radio data; light recognition; weather information; principal lights; IALA buoyage; international codes and flags; sun/moon rise/set times; emergency information. The Reeds Channel Almanac covers the south coast of England from the Scilly Isles to Dover, the Channel Islands and northern France from Calais to L'Aberildut, offering cruising and racing yachtsmen ready access to essential navigation information by virtue of its clear layout and user friendly format. The Reeds Channel Almanac covers the south coast of England from the Scilly Isles to Dover, the Channel Islands and northern France from Calais to L’Aberildut, offering cruising and racing yachtsmen ready access to essential navigation information by virtue of its clear layout and user friendly format.

Published in association with Practical Boat Owner magazine, this practical handy Almanac boasts many unique features for small craft sailors and represents excellent value for money for those who don't need the more comprehensive marina data, passage information and chartlets of the full Reeds Almanac.Since December 2003 Reeds has been owned by Adlard Coles Nautical (now part of Bloomsbury Publishing Plc), under whose famous name the Almanac has gone from strength to strength. In January 2011 Reeds Digital Almanac was launched, revolutionising the way the Almanac can be used, bringing together its respected and trusted navigational information with all the benefits of going digital, and continuing to keep Reeds at the forefront of passage planning.

The first compiler, editor and the moving light behind this venture was Captain O M Watts, one of the youngest Merchant Navy officers ever to hold a Master's certificate, aged 23. Oswald M Watts (Ossie to his friends) left the sea in 1927 and for a time delivered yachts and taught navigation. The publisher, Harold Brunton-Reed, and editor shook hands - as Watts described it, 'the only agreement we ever made'. The first edition was published on 1 January 1932 and cost 2/6 (two shillings and six pence, or 12.5 pence in today's money). Channel Islands; Inflatable dinghy price on request Channel Islands; Flares not available to ship at this time Known as the Yachtsman's Bible, Reeds provides all the information required to navigate Atlantic coastal waters around the whole of the UK, Ireland, Channel Islands and the entire European coastline from the tip of Denmark right down to Gibraltar, Northern Morocco, the Azores and Madeira.A policy of continuous improvement prevailed and has been maintained to this day. An unusual addition was the section on childbirth at sea, which was reproduced in the 2007 edition at the end of the First Aid chapter, as a unique souvenir.

Completely updated for 2024, topics include seamanship, pilotage, tide tables, safety procedures, navigation tips, radio, lights, waypoints, weather forecast information, communications, Mayday and distress procedures – in fact everything the cruising yachtsman needs to know. The large type size and clear layout makes information easy to read even in adverse conditions. This handy volume is ideal for anyone cruising the length of the English Channel.
