Yachting Monthly December 2013 features an interview with the Chairman of the National Coastwatch Institution, Alan Richards.

To accompany the interview, we’ve put together a free downloadable PDF (1.2MB) showing where all the NCI stations are as of December 2013, with their telephone numbers.

As Mr Richards makes clear, yachtsman around the coast find these stations invaluable for first-hand information about sea state, wind and weather. Call up your local station while on passage for the latest observations.
