I really like the waterproof charts currently available from multiple sources. They eliminate the need for a chart case and are cheaper than laminating, you don't need to chop up the chart, and you can always fold it to get the section of interest. They also seem to stay in place under the deck lines. On Nov 17, 2003, at 1:45 PM, Dave Kruger wrote: > > Re: Chart Case: Those flat ones for the deck do not work for me.
