Chagos Archipelago

New RCC Pilotage Foundation guide available as a free download

The Chagos Archipelago and British Indian Ocean Territory form an important stopping point for yachts making a crossing of the Indian Ocean but the authorities discourage all but essential visits. Tom Partridge has written a useful guide to the islands which includes details of how to obtain permission for a visit and much useful advice for anyone planning an Indian Ocean crossing. It is available as a fully illustrated free download from the RCC Pilotage Foundation website.
