Navicarte E29 Nautical Chart – Llanes – Lastres

The Navicarte E29 – Llanes, Lastres nautical chart is a folded paper chart covering part of the Atlantic coastline of Asturias, in northern Spain. With a scale of 1:50,000, it is designed for planning and supporting coastal navigation between Llanes and Lastres.

This Navicarte chart is primarily intended for recreational sailors navigating along the northern Spanish coast, whether sailing or under power. It can also be used to plan a longer cruise along the Cantabrian coast, together with Navicarte charts covering neighbouring areas.

A nautical chart for navigation along the Asturian coast

The area covered by Navicarte E29 is located in Asturias, on the Atlantic-facing coast of northern Spain, between Llanes and Lastres.

The 1:50,000 scale provides a sufficiently broad view of the area while retaining a level of detail suitable for planning coastal navigation.

The chart can be used to plot a route, measure distances, study the general configuration of the coastline and compare different route options.

For sailors following the Asturian coast, E29 provides appropriate chart coverage for planning a coastal passage between Llanes and Lastres.

A paper chart for coastal navigation planning

A paper chart makes it possible to view a relatively extensive maritime area at the same time. This is particularly useful when planning a route before moving to a more detailed display on a chartplotter.

On a chart table, the navigator can plot the intended route, compare different courses and maintain an overall view of the coastline.

Navicarte E29 can therefore be used before departure to plan the passage and during navigation as a complementary reference alongside electronic equipment.

It also remains available independently of the vessel's electrical power supply.

Reading a 1:50,000 nautical chart

Reading Navicarte E29 requires an understanding of the different cartographic elements used for coastal navigation.

The navigator should be able to interpret soundings, seabed information, buoyage, lights, hazards, coastal landmarks and information relating to harbour areas.

The 1:50,000 scale makes it possible to work on the route while maintaining an overall representation of the area. It also facilitates comparison between different navigation options before approaching a particular coastal sector.

Use with GPS or a chartplotter

Navicarte E29 is a folded paper chart and is not designed to be installed directly in a GPS or chartplotter.

It can nevertheless be used alongside electronic navigation. The position supplied by the GPS can be compared with the paper chart to check the consistency of the navigation.

Combining paper and electronic navigation also provides an independent reference in the event of a technical problem.

The paper chart offers a wider view of the area when the electronic display is being used at a high zoom level.
