DESCRIPTION

Plastimo compasses have been presented with several prizes, of which the most impressive are French, Japanese, German and American Design Awards. Plastimo makes a number of compasses to fit the needs of every sailor. Cruising and racing compasses. Handbearing compasses. Compasses for dingy and sports catamarans as well as for boats of all sizes.

When Plastimo invented the double reading compass, it was a major innovation which allowed the yachtsman to follow his course from the cockpit and the cabin. The Plastimo Contest Compasses 101 goes a step further: its exclusive mounting possibilities on any bulkhead-whatever the thickness-and its aesthetics allow the Contest 101 to adapt perfectly to today's yachts, both in terms of engineering technique and glamorous design.

Specifically designed for sailing boats, the Olympic compasses feature an exceptionally steady card and remain accurate whatever the heeling angle and the weather conditions. Plastimo is the only compass manufacturer offering a 5-year warranty. The Plastimo Compasses Horizon 135, a member of the Olympic line of compasses, are made primarily for cruising purposes. The Horizon 135 compass was designed for boats from 9m and up.

Only the best will do! For ultimate quality, Plastimo selects the best components in order to ensure that your compass is a highly dependable instrument which will provide years of reliable service.
