Note: For Cruising Guides: See the page on CCA Cruising Guides here.

The CCA Chart Lending Service has recently been suspended due to a lack of requests and a desire by committee members to retire from active duty. The service is inactive while the club investigates an alternative Cruising Information Service to possibly be available through the CCA website. At this time, donations of additional charts are no longer being accepted. Former committee members (Custodians) can be contacted for advice on the disposition of chart collections owned by CCA members.
