Chart Case

[Cloven]

Just got some of the new Admiralty folio charts - measure approx 17" x 24".

Anyone know of a chart case suitable for these? Most seem far too big.

Alternative is a big clear plastic bag. Again suggestions for a suitable source. I've tried Googling but can only find places that sell them 500 at a time and folded so might not be clear enough plastic and creases would be a pain.

Thanks for any replies.

Blue Performance, (Bainbridge are importers), do a clear both sides chart holder for the Folio size charts, my Imray charts fit, with top seal and lanyard point for cockpit use, with chinagraph.

I use 4" drain pipe with screw on ends bulky but safe

ah ... whilst were on the topic ... where can I can plastic wallets to store half folded admiralty charts? Don't need anything fancy that can be used on deck, just something cheap and cheerful for stroring my charts flat. I need quite a few, perhaps 10 or more.

Not sure if this is what you are after but: get a sheet of secondary double glazing perspex from B&Q cut two pieces to size and join by creating a hinge along one side with cloth tape, keep closed using a couple of bulldog clips - keeps the charts flat, offers pretty good protection and can be drawn on using chinagraph pencils.
