Compasses for Marine and Boaters |
||||
|
Compasses are a critical piece of equipment for anglers going off shore in distances where sight of land is lost. Orientation can be lost at sea and real trouble incurred if the course for returning to the launch location is not known. In these applications it is also important to use quality equipment.
This means a compass with a rugged gyroscope and a secure mounting system for the unit. Steering a steady course in 6 foot seas with a compass that is fluctuating 100 degrees in its course reading due to the boat motion is not a reliable way to reach port. The compass selected should be large enough to incorporate a reliable gyro system with the ability to remain stable in pitching seas. Another valuable feature is a unit with lighting for night operation. One of the most reliable manufactures of quality compasses is Ritchie. |
