A sail cruising website for the north of Scotland (north of the Great Glen) which hopefully fills a gap in information on anchorages, weather, tides, events, navigation issues etc. not currently provided online.

FORUM

The HCS forum requires a simple registration.

 

MAPPING

Concept is tagged points of interest e.g. anchorages, harbours, bays with pop up text and a small photograph. In most cases zooming in gives a high definition aerial image of area - far better than Google.

 

TIDE INFO updated 22nd September 2008.

Tidal information for 4 ports for 1 year from mid September. Select from links:-

Tobermory, Ullapool, Wick, and Ardersier.

For accurate week ahead tidal information to base detailed passage plans on go to the UKHOs Easytide.

 

EVENTS 2009: updated regularly.

 

 

WEATHER & LINKS

Weather forecast systems, webcams, boat / sail clubs in the north.

 

NATSIQ
