..In preparation for my entry in the 2008 Vendee Globe round the world single handed yacht race, I amassed a large number of Admiralty World charts so I would know where I was, as well as having one hand amputated to qualify.

Sadly as my little boat from Burgundy was too small and my huge lack of experience even though I have sailed the ocean blue for years was considered by the the organisers, they have, in their wisdom turned down a potential winner and my entry application was rejected, so I now want to sell the charts.
They cover all sorts of areas - Carribbean, East Coast USA, English Channel and East Coast England, France, Spain and Portugal and the Middles East etc.
If any of you want one to hang on your wall or to give one to a yachty chum for christmas , let me know and I will see what I have got - and lets say £5 plus postage each?
