AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Silva 103RE Racing Elite – Tactical Marine Compass
New in box: The essential navigation instrument for the serious race sailor.
The Silva 103RE is not just a compass; it is a tactical tool designed specifically for sailing races in smaller open boats (such as the Laser, Finn or 470). Thanks to the innovative dual-scale system this compass gives you a direct strategic advantage on the water.
Why this compass makes the difference:
Tactical Dual Scale: Equipped with a green and red scale with which wind shifts are read directly. You can see at a glance whether you are sailing on the 'lifted' or 'headed' tack without complicated calculations.
Optimal Reading: The curved sail lines (lubber lines) ensure that the course from any position in the cockpit is sharply readable and free of parallax errors.
Exceptional Stability: The sapphire bearing and hardened steel pin guarantee frictionless movement, keeping the compass rose stable even in heavy seas and rapid course changes.
Durable design: Fully waterproof and made of scratch-resistant material, built to withstand the toughest conditions at sea.
Specifications:
Model: 103RE Racing Elite
Type: Marine/Tactical sailing compass
Mounting: Easy to mount on deck or a bracket (detachable)
Condition: New in original packaging
