I think I know what's going on but I was wondering what you all think the issue is here. We were coming in to Harbour Island the other day and...

That's all good and sound thinking obviously. But I'm not sure you can rely on a chart any more than a chart plotter. It all depends on when the...
Yes but it does project out the side where you could clip something coming off the bottom or the side of a sloping channel.
Perhaps. But they could project out from the hull to where you could clip something with them. Especially if the hull is rounded.
