Compass Riviera Genova Regatta, Ø76 mm

The Riviera Regatta 3″ compass is developed specifically for competitive sailing, where quick and precise heading reading is critical. The tactical card, divided into four colored sectors, allows the crew to easily compare the boat’s heading on different tacks (port/starboard) and assess wind shifts. The compass can be flush-mounted horizontally on the cockpit dashboard or attached to the mast, in both cases providing an optimal viewing angle for the crew. The lack of complex electronics makes this compass lightweight and reliable, resistant to vibrations and shocks during dynamic sailing.

• Indispensable in Regattas: Assists tacticians and helmsmen in quickly judging whether the boat is lifting or headering (gaining or losing ground relative to the wind) when changing tacks. The colored sectors make it easier to remember target headings on different points of sail.
• Suitable for Various Classes: Ideal for sporty keelboats (e.g., J/80, Melges) and even smaller racing dinghies (like 470, 420 classes) where direct line-of-sight to the compass is important.
• Lightweight & Effective: The streamlined design with no lighting or extra add-ons reduces weight and unnecessary load on the boat. The compass is engineered to remain accurate and legible even under heavy heel and in choppy conditions.
• Tactical Advantage: The four colors on the card (typically denoting 90° sectors) enable the crew to quickly track wind angle changes – a key advantage in fighting for every meter of lead during a race.
