Mediterranean Almanac 2023-24

Издание на английском языке.
The essential marine data resource for yachts sailing the Mediterranean, the Imray Mediterranean Almanac is published biennially with updates available in a downloadable supplement at the end of the first year. The harbour information section, with plans of the major harbours and marinas, is now a core part of every yachtsman’s almanac, and the Imray Mediterranean Almanac has a significant part of the volume devoted to this information. Harbour plans are restricted to a selection of major harbours or smaller harbours commonly used by yachts, including many of the marinas in the Mediterranean. There are a number of good pilots available for most of the countries around the Mediterranean and where there are gaps we have endeavoured to provide as many harbour plans as possible. On passage you can safely get around the Mediterranean using the harbour plans in the almanac, but if you are exploring a region then you will need the relevant pilot for that country or area.
