I'm thinking of buy an Admiralty Small Craft Folio for the Clyde. So here's my dilemma - do I go for the soon-to-expire version available from Amazon at £38.98 or do I preorder the new version, due out on 12 May and priced at a very modest £44,030.
What do you think, folks? Is it worth losing more up to date buoyage information to save £43,991.02? Both items can be sent with Free Super Saver Delivery, by the way, so that's not an issue.

Re: Difficult Decision
I think I would expect a few more charts than that for £44,030.00

Re: Difficult Decision
I'd save the money for something else, as the buoys have all got their names painted on the side anyway.
Shame about the piers though, - unfortunately someone has removed all the handy blue and white signs that told this
callow youth where he was in the 60's.
For what it's worth, I think the single most useful buoy in the Clyde is the Hunterston outfall yellow chappie that will keep you off the rocks if used as a guide against cutting the corner.

I'd be expecting a wee bit o' sun for £44k as well, if that's inclused maybe you can get a few million people to chip in £1 each?
