Hello All,

What is the compass of choice in the class at the moment?

Having sold the last boat with our tacktick I am loking for one to fit into 7510. I assume the electronic variety are still frowned upon so what do people plump for in the Alb?

Any thoughts gratefully received..

Hugh

Electronic compasses are not frowned upon (other than by a few people who incorrectly believe they sail the boat for you) as long as they dont correlate heading and time.

The T060 model Tackticks are used widely.

Hi Hugh,

I use the tacktick which seems to work ok for me, it has the added advantage of also serving as a timer which is useful as you don't have to fumble around with a watch and the timer is in your line of sight.

Hugh... Suunto from Finland cable tied to the mast gate, Casio on wrist, I have been caught out a couple of times hitting the timer on the TackTick.

Andrew, Wow 8152 that sounds like a fast ship!!

Hi Mark,

I recon 8152 will be a fast ship, its white which seems to be a good start. First thoughts on a name are "Zip and Lob" which has yet to receive management approval! Can't think why.

Will test the speed next Friday, should be good for at least 70mph .

Cheers

Andy
