Get the walkers cruising guide instead. Charts are onboard on all TUI Moorings, Sunsail, Footloose charters.
Then keep reading here on TTOL. You'll be an expert in no time.

Yeah the chart will be on the boat but having one ahead of time is priceless for the dreaming! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
Life involves risks, take some prudent ones (NOT with the BVI ferries)!

Jorgen said: They have the Imray-lolaire A233,which covers both the USVI and the BVI including Anegada. This is what we bought when we finished sailing school in November. It was about $60 - it's a really nice detailed chart (thick paper, prob waterproof?). It's much more detailed than the chart that TMM sent with the guidebook. We also have Frank's map of the BVI's which is great quality and has snorkel/dive spots marked. While the subject is up, should we also have a navigation app if some kind on our iPad? The boat were chartering is a 2013 cat - assume it has a pretty good GPS/charting system?

706jim said: We wrote all over our Moorings supplied "paper" chart; folded it so it would be easier to use at the helm and packed it away as a souvenir.
Moorings demanded it back, so we gave it to them.
Can't imagine they would leave it on the boat for the next crew. You should always use pencil on the map and then erase it for further use. Taking a map as souvenir is like taking a towel from a hotel room as souvenir.

Best practice is to roll your chart, never fold. Folding it ends up cutting the paper at the folds pretty quick. I leave the chart on the cabin table and duck below to check if needed.

First time down, '79, bought several charts for our "planning parties" with another couple. During check out the guy used a chart in a laminated placemat and THAT is all we needed - then and now. But do agree about the fun of planning ahead of time - however, don't expect to actually follow whatever you planned <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" />
