Does anyone know if nautical charts printed on Tyvek (that practically indestructible stuff some envelopes are made of) are available? For Canada? I thought I had heard somewhere that this was being used, tho I could have dreamt it... (I'm tired of my charts falling apart after a season or two).

How would you do the printing? Copiers handle Tyvek? I believe some handle lighter grades of drafting Mylar, which would be as durable as Tyvek, but not reversibly crushable. It may be easier to make a color copy and then laminate it. Printing on Tyvek will wear. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************

A friend, who makes skin boats, puts logos on his boats by printing his logos onto overhead projector transparencies and laminating them onto his boats. I would expect printing maps onto transparencies would work pretty well if you had soft copies of the maps. kirk *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
