Now class legal for the ILCA Dinghies– This is one of only a couple of electronic compasses that have now been included in the Laser Association Class Rules for competitive racing. T060 Micro Compass Features A typical installation can be done in just a few hours, with your rig in place and your boat still in the water. And there's no need for holes in the bulkhead or wires down the mast. Raymarine Wireless racing displays receive and display data wirelessly from Hull and Wind transmitters, including polar data, true wind speed and angle, VMG and compass heading. Using your iron, heat up the large hole first and just wedge the battery away from the board. Once that is done, see if you can remove the foam using a needle nose or a long screw driver. Then, heat up the smaller hole which is the center post of the battery. Use care when removing all four batteries, and save the foam. Do not wedge them against the LCD panel as it may break. The elimination of wires in the mast not only reduces spar weight but also lowers the boat's centre of gravity, giving significant and immediate performance advantage.

Digital compasses deliver this data right into your natural field of view, where you need it, how you need it, when you need it. Besides giving you versatility, Raymarine Wireless displays are unique. They are wireless, solar powered and use Micronet technology. So, what are the factors that need to be considered in deciding which electronic compass is right for you?

How do you decide between these compasses? This article looks at the factors involved, but first why choose an electronic compass? You only have to look at Laser medal race videos to see that the vast majority of the top sailors have moved from analogue to electronic. Electronic compasses are smaller, lighter, but it is the ease of reading that is the main reason – the digital display is much clearer than the graduations on an analogue compass, isn’t subject to the variation dependent upon viewing angle, and is faster to respond to heading change. All these lead to electronic compasses having greater useable accuracy which make it far easier to see heading changes. T060 Micro CompassThe Micro Compass proved a huge advantage over competitors using glass ball compasses.

The micro-scale tactical compass offers clear and stable for port and starboard embroidered figures. Whether you are racing multi-hulls, dinghies, keel or sports boats... Raymarine Wireless racing displays deliver precise data where you need it and when you need it! Even in cloudy weather, if you position the solar cell as above for 5 days, then you should achieve enough charge to complete a weekends racing. Using clip-in cradles, your display can be placed anywhere on your boat, allowing you to view the information where and when you need it. Some basic electronics bench repair tools (30W Soldering iron, lead/tin solder, copper braid, long pliers, sponge)Raymarine Wirelessdisplays are solar powered with integrated lithium batteries that power the unit for life. Power consumption is so efficient that units can run autonomously for up to 300 hours. Clip away some of the leads on the batteries. I shortened the centre post, and made the edge post thinner. This made it easier to fit things into place. Some Definitions and Terminology Improving Race Performance with the Race Master Before the Race During the Race - When embroidering, the readings are the same, which means you will not need to remember the numbers.
