IMHO, rolled charts don't store effiecently, on the boat or at home, when
I'm dealing with several hundred charts.

Further, in my experience only ships have chart tables large enough for a
chart to be maintained fully flat, without a fold, on the chart table or in
a drawer.

My chart table drawers are large enough to store the charts folded in half
but the chart table and Yeomen Plotter requires them to be folded in
quarters.

Actually, the Chart Kit format is the ideal size that I built my chart table
surface for. However, not all cruising chart book come in that convenient
size/format.

(The several suggestions about putting the charts under the settee cushions
remind me of my days as a navy 'white hat', when we put our dress blue
uniform under the mattress to smooth the locker creases.)

Thanks again,
