 In modern times the ""Channel Pilot for the South Coast of England and the North Coast of France"", cautions sailors that "Selsey Bill" is difficult to locate in poor visibility.However, in clear weather when the wind is moderate, a short cut can be afforded by using the Looe Channel that passes through the rocks and ledges south of "the Bill", which is marked by buoys.The pilot recommends that a large-scale chart is required and to proceed with caution.
