Compass specifically for sailing

Many sailboats don't have the vertical space needed for a bulkhead-mounted compass. For these applications, the RU-90 Voyager Sailboat Racing Flush Mount compass from Ritchie Navigation is perfect. Flush mounted to the deck or binnacle, it offers multiple lubber lines for viewing from different helm positions and a card that remains steady no matter the heeling angle or sea state.

The RU-90 Voyager features a low-glare blue 76mm PowerDamp flat dial with bright white numbers and 5 degrees degree marks for visibility in everything from full sun to twilight. Set on a hardened steel pivot with a scientifically matched sapphire jewel, the compass card is silky smooth, yet quick to respond to minute course changes. Powerful Ritchie DirectiveForce™ magnets provide fast heading lock-on without dial spinning or jumping.

Racers and cruisers alike will welcome the four white 45 degrees and single yellow 0 degrees lubber lines set inside the rugged dome. This is especially useful when steering from the rail. And with the available VL-100 12V LED Green Lighting kit, the compass can be used at night.

Space-saving, the durable composite housing of the Ritchie RU-90 Voyager requires only 1-3/4" of depth to install into a standard 3-1/2" deck hole or on top of a binnacle. Combined with its total width of only 5-1/4", it's perfect for everything from a double-handed dinghy up to a mid-sized keelboat.

Like all Ritchie compasses, the Ritchie RU-90 Voyager Sailboat Racing Flush Mount compass is 100% repairable. It comes with a five-year warranty.
