Mini Compass - Black Bezel - Red Card

Compensation: Optional

Sailboats up to 9 m (30 ft) can be equipped with this compass. The compass is designed for mounting on a vertical bulkhead, providing a convenient and secure installation option for small craft.

The compass features a conical card, which is graduated every 5 degrees with heading numerals displayed at every 30 degrees. This level of detail ensures accurate navigation and heading reference for the vessel.

The apparent diameter of the compass card measures 81 mm, offering a clear and easy-to-read display for the skipper or crew. This size provides a suitable scale and visibility, even in limited space or low-light conditions.

The use of a conical card design, rather than a flat card, enhances the readability and reduces potential distortion or parallax errors when viewed from different angles. This design feature contributes to the overall precision and reliability of the compass.

Mounting the compass on a vertical bulkhead allows for optimal placement and visibility, ensuring the skipper or crew can quickly and easily reference the heading information. The vertical orientation also helps to minimize the effects of heel and pitch, providing a more stable and accurate reading under varying sailing conditions.

The optional compensation feature of this compass allows for the adjustment and calibration of the device, ensuring true north alignment and compensation for any magnetic interference or deviation present in the vessel's environment. This feature is particularly important for small craft, where the proximity of metal fittings and equipment can impact the compass' performance.

By offering a compact, easy-to-read, and vertically-mounted design, this compass is well-suited for use on sailboats up to 9 meters (30 feet) in length. Its combination of features and options make it a reliable and versatile navigation tool for small craft operators.
