Do you need a chart table?
Chart tables are often a major discussion point with our owners. At Faurby, you choose the size, style, orientation, and location of your navigation station – and you also decide whether you want one at all.
With electronic navigation available at the helm and anywhere on board via tablet or laptop, plus a large, flat saloon table, we often ask whether a dedicated chart table is really necessary. While that might sound like heresy to some, everyone has their own way of navigating, and as long as you get where you’re going, we’re happy to create a navigation station that works for you.
If you have a fine collection of full-size charts, you may want a chart table large enough to examine a folded Admiralty chart. If you’re where chart folios are smaller, your table can be more compact. You may want a wide table to accommodate charts and pilot books, or a narrower table for using a laptop. You might prefer your nav station to be incorporated into a separate office space where you can work and reply to emails uninterrupted, or you may be perfectly happy doing all this at the saloon table.
We have built all kinds of chart tables – from concealed switch panels, simple standing stations for checking charts while sailing, to fully dedicated navigation areas with integrated computer systems.
When you choose Faurby, anything is possible.
