Premium materials & finishes

• Paper (120 gsm matte) — Crisp, flexible and chart-table friendly; ideal under nav-station glass.

• Laminated (soft-matte front / gloss back, edge-sealed) — Low-glare, writeable face for notes and corrections; gloss back adds rigidity and wipes clean.

Note: We’ve intentionally configured the laminate with a soft-matte writeable face and a gloss reverse so you can annotate pilotage notes, fixes and ETAs directly on the chart, then clean down between passages.

On-board & ashore use

• 📒 Crew briefings — At-a-glance layout for pilotage notes and waypoint checks.

• 🛠️ Marina/club display — Durable laminated option for noticeboards and training rooms.

• 🎁 Gift for skippers — A practical, good-looking chart for locals and visiting cruisers.
