Reeds PBO Small Craft Almanac 2026

If Reeds Almanac is the ‘Bible of Sailing’ then this is the ‘Book of Prayer’ – Yachting Monthly

The essential navigational guide for all of the UK and Ireland, as well as the North Atlantic coastline from Denmark to the Gironde, in a practical, handy format.

Streamlined to focus on tidal data (tide tables, tidal streams and tidal curves), the Small Craft Almanac is meticulously researched and fully updated for the 2026 edition, and includes a huge amount of information of value to small craft navigators. As well as tidal data it incorporates secondary port differences; 2,500+ waypoints; radio data; light recognition; weather information; principal lights; IALA buoyage; international codes and flags; sun/moon rise/set times, and emergency information.

Presented in an easy-to-find, quick-reference manner for on-board use, the PBO Small Craft Almanac represents excellent value for money for those who don’t need the more comprehensive marina data, passage information and chartlets of the full Reeds Almanac.

Free supplements of up-to-date navigation changes are available from January to June at: www.reedsnauticalalmanac.co.uk
