Whilst the Publishers and Author have used reasonable endeavours to ensure the accuracy of the contents of these Sailing Directions 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to navigation in conjunction with official charts, pilots, hydrographic data and all other information, published or unpublished, available to the navigator.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 these Sailing Directions in preference to exercising their own judgement.
