I just completed a distance race in a Laser28 (yes, there is such a thing), we had a Nautalytics onboard as a secondary compass. It was off by more than 40° rendering it totally useless to get a bearing. To test if it was a lemon or systemic problem, I mounted my Nautalytics onboard my Laser (14) along side the Ritchie for Sunday racing, sure enough it was also off by a similar amount all day. One wouldn't notice this discrepency unless two compasses were in use.
Has anyone else noticed this? It would explain why the bearings to the weather mark that RC give you never make sense...
This is the Gen2 with timer. I really want to like this compass, but may have to switch to a Micro or Prism.
