Storing charts flat is optimal, but I cruise rental boats or with friends who rely way too heavily on their chart plotters (and my old Garmin 76 with waypoints taken on location.) If I want charts tubes are a fact of life for me. Tablecloth clips available in the camping section of stores like Meijer can work to hold the corners down on a plywood panel or salon/saloon table. But why not reduce that headache to begin with? If you must roll your charts, roll them with the printed side to the outside. Then only one "professional heavy" is needed near the center.
