While GPS units can't be beat for accurate navigation, they are subject
to breakdown, and many cannot give bearing to a visual target. Good
seamanship dictates that you have a dependable compass on board for
open water sailing. The Davis Instruments model #211 features non
corrosive plastic construction, is accurate, rugged, and floats.
Available for $29.95 at West Marine, an LED lighted model #215 is also
available for $37.95. (Specify West Marine part #108241 for non lighted,
or #108258 for the lighted.).
