Many boats have an outside cabin wall, or bulkhead, that makes an ideal place to mount a chart holder for the helmsman. Or, the chart holder can be mounted on an inside cabin wall if desired. It is easy to make such a chart holder with a simple three-sided frame and a sheet of acrylic. Several charts can be slid between the clear plastic and the cabin bulkhead. The one on top is not only visible, but the plastic surface can be used for plotting courses with a grease pencil or marking pen. When the weather is rough, the charts remain safe from wind, rain and spray.
