Bulkhead Compass for CD26
Re: Bulkhead Compass for CD26
On my old Cal 27, I had a Plastimo with integrated heel angle incorporated. I liked it. The current version is the Plastimo 130 which
sells in the neighborhood of $300. The Richie Navigator might be slightly better, but sells for around $500. Both the Richie and Plastimo
can mount on a sloped bulkhead.
The Plastimo can be read from inside the cabin (I don't know how useful this feature would be for you).
Another option is the Richie Explorer which sells for between $100-$150. This is a smaller compass which would be more
difficult to read across the cockpit, I think. Personally, I wouldn't consider it. Good luck in your search - Jean

Re: Bulkhead Compass for CD26
Depends on what you are trying to do. I have a Richie navigator BN 202. But it's a primary instrument for me. I rely on it extensively instead of electronic mapping etc.
The Platismo looks good as does the mini contest but I don't have experience with either of them.
