Navigate with confidence using the PLASTIMO Olimpic 135 Compass. This robust, waterproof compass offers exceptional readability with a large, clear card and needle, perfect for any sea condition. Integrated LED lighting ensures visibility at night, while durable construction guarantees long-lasting performance. Easy to install with multiple mounting options, it´s ideal for sailboats and motorboats. Trust the Olimpic 135 for accurate, reliable navigation on all your boating adventures.

As a cornerstone of the Navigation subcategory, the Olimpic 135 stands out as a world-renowned steering compass, specifically engineered for sailboats measuring 9 meters (30 feet) and over. Its design philosophy centers on providing the helmsman with an unerringly clear and stable reading, regardless of the weather or time of day. The large 130 mm apparent card diameter, available in both conical and flat designs, is meticulously graduated to minimize parallax error and allow for instant, accurate course readings from any viewing angle. This exceptional clarity reduces eye strain and enhances safety during long passages.

A key benefit of the Olimpic 135 is its outstanding stability, achieved through Plastimo´s exclusive "Vibration Absorber" gimbal system. This innovative feature ensures the compass card remains perfectly steady and legible, even when navigating through heavy seas and significant boat heel. The compass is equipped with three high-visibility lubber lines, set at 45° intervals, for precise bearing capture and course monitoring. For nocturnal navigation, a standard 12-24 V LED provides crisp, non-glare illumination, seamlessly integrating into your boat´s electrical system.

Built to endure the unforgiving marine environment, every Olimpic 135 compass comes with a protective sun cover, shielding it from prolonged sun exposure and physical impacts when not in use. Its versatility is further enhanced by a wide range of mounting possibilities, including binnacle (on a vertical bulkhead or pedestal), flushmount, and mastmount configurations, making it adaptable to virtually any cockpit layout. Holding SOLAS-MED 96/98 certification, this compass meets the most stringent international safety standards, making it a trusted choice not only for recreational sailors but also for commercial vessels and lifeboats.
