Portsmouth Tide Tables
Copies of the Portsmouth Tide Tables for 2008 were distributed with the Membership Renewal Forms. Spare copies of the 2008 tables may be obtained from the Membership Secretary or CLICK HERE to download a copy.
Cherbourg Tide Tables
For those Members who are using the Reeve-Fowkes Tidal Atlas for the Central Channel - these tables give times and heights of high water Cherbourg for 2008.
Note: The times shown in the table are shown in Time Zone -0100 which is one hour ahead of UTC (Coordinated Universal Time - formerly known as GMT). British Summer Time (BST) is also one hour ahead of UTC. When cruising in home waters during the period from 30 March to 26 October 2008 the time read from these tables will be the same as clock time in the UK. Outside these dates the times read from these tables will need to have one hour subtracted to equal UTC.
Copies of the Cherbourg Tide Tables can be downloaded from the publishers Adlard Coles - or CLICK HERE to download a copy
