Compass and Heelmeter. Sailboats 9 m and above (30 ft +). Homologation SOLAS-MED 96-98. When Plastimo invented the double reading compass, it was a major innovation which allowed the yachtsman to follow his course from the cockpit and the cabin. The Contest 101 goes a step further : its exclusive mounting possibilities on any bulkhead - whatever the thickness - and its aesthetics allow the Contest 101 to adapt perfectly to today's yachts, both in terms of engineering technique and glamorous design.

• Lubber lines: 3 lubber lines, at 45°.
• Heelmeter: Graduated every 10°.
• Compensation: Optional
• Lighting: 12 Vdc. Red lighting on black and white cards, White lighting on yellow and red cards.
• Supplied with: Protection cover, drilling template.
• Homologation: SOLAS-MED 96-98

The Iris 50 compass is clear evidence that a sturdy marine compass no longer needs to look austere.

• Good protection against hard knocks : the smooth finish feels soft in your hand, and it will not slip, even if it is wet.

• Outstanding legibility of the card, with one-degree graduations.

• No parallax error : a prism projects the reading of the bearing to infinity. This also contributes to a more comfortable operation, as you do not need to alternate close-reading to read the card and infinite-reading to take bearings.

• Optimum conditions to take bearings, thanks to the superb card stability and the wide 20° field of view, which will accommodate the roughest sea conditions.

• Most accurate bearing : the pivot and very hard stone are a guarantee of long life and shock resistance of your compass.

• Soft bottom cell : engineered using ultra-sonic welding, it acts like an expansion diaphragm, preventing the formation of bubbles and leaks.

• Built-in photoluminescent lighting, completely maintenance-free, impervious to corrosion, operates without batteries or radio-active tritium.

• Course reading from above the compass : you can read your compass like a standard compass, with no need to look through the prism.

Multi-purpose compass : dinghy sailing, cruising, powerboating... Thanks to its gimballed magnetic cell, the Mini-C adapts to any location on board, vertical or horizontal.

Installation is very easy : the Mini-C is simply flushmounted, vertically on a bulkhead or horizontally on the dashboard or instrument pod.

Ideal on small size power boats up to 6 m (20 ft).

Bracket-mount : Large stable base absorbs vibrations, simply screwed on dashboard. Card : Contributes to safety and provides reliable reading, whatever the ambiant light and weather/navigation conditions (conical card, perfectly stable, 55 mm apparent diameter). Moulded-in notch to visualise heading easily. Materials : All parts fully UV-ray treated. Scratch resistant dome.

Whatever the boat speed or vibrations, the Offshore 75 remains fully efficient, thanks to the exclusive "Vibration Absorber" system which guarantees an exceptional card stability in all conditions. The Offshore 75 compass benefits from Plastimo's invaluable experience in compass engineering.

Motor boats from 5 to 8 meters.

• Card design guarantees accurate readings and safe navigation under all weather or light conditions.
• Perfect stability of conical card, 70 mm apparent diameter.
• Every card is balanced individually in our workshops.
• Front reading : graduation every 5° and compact figures allow for easy reading.
• Watertight construction
• One-piece moulded flange and bowl.
• Viton® diaphragm with extreme expansion and retraction capacity :compensates the fluctuations in fluid volume caused by the differences in temperature and atmospheric pressure, thus preventing the formation of bubbles.
• Lighting integrated in the bowl.
• Moulded-in sunken head screws.
• Lubber line
• Fluorescent orange, for instant recognition.

Materials:All parts fully UV-ray treated. Scratch resistant dome.Vibration Absorber" exclusive system: Minimal contact between the pivot and the sapphire cup. French official testing laboratory.

Lighting:Bulb is integrated in the bowl, thus spreading the illumination evenly and preventing eye strain and fatigue at night.Access to compensation or lighting.Extremely easy access to compensation or lighting with unique flange-clip system.

Installation:Flushmount on horizontal surface : compact compass (fastening with screws).Flushmount on vertical or inclined surface/dashboard : fits any surface whatever the angle (fastening with screws). Interchangeable with any compass of equivalent size.Mini-binnacle : to be mounted on a horizontal surface thanks to the unique clip-plate which allows the compass to be removed.Bracket : the broad and sturdy bracket base absorbs the vibrations. Mounting can be done on any surface whatever the angle, provided that the compass + card unit remains horizontal at all times.Bracket-mount compass can also be removed when fitted with clip-plate.
