Description
Reed’s Nautical Almanac 2026 is an annual reference book for sailors navigating European waters. The publication combines nautical information, practical sailing advice and overviews of ports, tides and regulations in a single volume, and is designed specifically for leisure and touring sailing.
Unlike pure navigation almanacs for professional use, Reed’s Nautical Almanac is built for practical use on board. It provides an overview of sailing areas, emergency information, radio communications, signals, safety procedures and relevant regulations that apply in the various waters. The content is updated annually to reflect changes in regulations, services and infrastructure.
Reed’s Nautical Almanac is often used as a supplement to nautical charts and pilot books, and is particularly useful for planning and daily navigation in areas such as the North Sea, English Channel, Biscay and the Atlantic coast of Europe. For many sailors, this is a permanent fixture on board for the season it applies to.
As an annual publication, the almanac is only valid for the specified year and must be replaced at the change of season to ensure correct and up-to-date information.
