Modern compasses aren’t just functional; they can also look good on your boat. You can find them in different styles to match your boat’s look. The Plastimo Compass series, for example, offers both black and white options to fit right in with your boat’s design.

When properly sized, installed, and compensated, a marine compass becomes the most important instrument on any boat. It uniquely stands out by delivering accurate, trouble-free heading references under the most adverse conditions, operating independently of electricity, radio signals, or satellite communications.

Two important criteria in selecting an compass for your journeys are the dial size and the mounting style. These elements ensure that the compass can be easily read and securely affixed in a manner that complements the boat’s design and the captain’s navigational needs. Quality components are essential for ensuring accuracy, smooth response, stability, and straightforward operation, making the compass not just a tool, but a reliable partner in the open sea.
