The ultimate Race Compass, offering unprecedented ergonomics and visibility.
Features:
- Two-Line Display: Before the start: With the countdown and the tactical display in view, be on time and be at the favoured end. After the start: With the tactical display and heading in view, play the shifts and find the marks
- Three-button countdown: The countdown is pure simplicity: the GO button starts the countdown and you can adjust the minutes with the left and right buttons even whilst the countdown is running.
- Easy to read: The super-bold 30mm characters are easy to read and the twin displays ensure a clear view even from a hiking or trapezing position. The displays are built with a circular polarizer which ensures full compatibility with polaroid sunglasses from all view angles and directions.
- Designed for sailboat racing: Built with a one part toughened transparent front case, the Race Compass is fully waterproof. With the two-line display and time-of-day clock, you don’t have to carry a separate watch or timing device. The Race Compass is powered for life with its integrated sky-facing solar panel.
- Accurate: The sold-state internal compass provides unmatched heading accuracy, keeping you a step ahead.
- Light weight: The design is strong yet efficient in the use of material, making Race Compass ultra-light.
Our view:
We were one of the first UK retailers to take on the Sailteck compass simply because it’s so good. To say it compares favourably against the alternatives would be a significant understatement. So easy to install with some nicely designed accessories to match almost any class. The two rows of characters allowing viewing of countdown and compass is a godsend for those, who like us, want to have the ability to see the compass during the whole start sequence. After the start you can use tactical mode on one row and compass mode on the other. You can even see the characters when wearing your favourite polaroids. You certainly won’t see us on the water without a Sailteck on the boat.
