by Ritchie

Looking for a compass that can handle the rocking and swaying of your boat? The SportAbout from Ritchie is the perfect handheld compass for all marine applications. This compact handheld compass with rubber housing works just like a typical mounted rear-reading marine compass, but you can hold it in your hand. And the integrated neck lanyard will keep your compass close by, ready to take the next reading.
