Third unit we've owned love it

like that it is multidirectional. you don't have to point it in to the wind direction to get accurate readings.

Wind Meter – Handheld Anemometer
Makes life easier

The Anemometer is so popular on the signal boat the club is going to buy two more. (that way they do not have to borrow mine)

What is a hand bearing compass used for?

Taking bearings to marks, landmarks and other boats. Sailors and race officers use it to set courses, track wind shifts and lay marks.

Does the compass work in the Southern Hemisphere?

Yes. It is a magnetic compass, so it works anywhere in the world without calibration.

How far does the LR600 measure?

From 5 to 600 metres, with 6x magnification. It is rated IP54: dust resistant and splash proof.

Monocular or binoculars on a boat?

A monocular leaves a hand free and weighs about half as much. Binoculars are more relaxed for long watches.

About Compasses and Navigation

Bearing compasses and navigation instruments built for sailing. A hand bearing compass tells you whether the other boat is on a collision course, whether the start line is biased, and whether you are laying the mark. These are the tools that turn a guess into a number.

Every instrument here is chosen for the same conditions: salt water, spray, one free hand, and a deck that will not hold still.
