Key Benefits for a Superior Sailing Experience

The Mini Contest Compass is built to enhance your time on the water by providing a stress-free and reliable navigation experience. Its primary benefit is its outstanding readability from any angle. Whether you are at the helm, on the rail, or anywhere in the cockpit, the unique conical card design and large numerals ensure you can get a quick, accurate heading at a glance, day or night. This compass remains remarkably stable, even in rough seas and at high heeling angles, thanks to Plastimo´s proprietary Vibration Absorber system, which ensures the card is never erratic, allowing for precise course keeping when it matters most.
