The updated Prism - Velocitek Prism Ultralight Dinghy Racing Compass
The Prism is a stripped down racing compass and provides unprecedented accuracy, coupled with a massive display, in a compact package. At a mere 137 g (4.8 oz) it is the world's lightest racing compass. The Prism uses only magnetic input as its heading reference, has no memory, no user inputs, and performs no arithmetic functions. It's legal in all classes that allow electronic compasses. The Prism has a high precision 3-axis solid state magnetometer designed for aerospace applications to provide superior accuracy and responsiveness, and is battery powered with solar charging. With an ultra-wide wide 250° viewing angle, the Prism's LCD's can be easily read from the helm to the trapeze wire. And, the Prism's sunlight-readable, high-contrast LCD screen features massive 29.8mm (1.1") tall digits in a font that's optimized for readability. This means that if your boat's under 40ft long you'll be able to mount the Prism on your mast and read it easily from anywhere in the cockpit, even if you don't have perfect vision. The Prism mounts to your boat via the slide-in cradle and the cradle can be mounted to a wide array of brackets, directly to a mast using the centerline holes and the Mast Bracket Hardware Kit, or directly to a bulkhead. Recesses are included in the cradle in case you need to lash your compass in place. Specifications: - Weight: 4.8 oz (137 g)
