Is something I'm missing here or is my compass index off. The numbers on the side of the index do not match the numbers on top. I bought it used but the indexing does not make sense to me. Does someone have a manuel for this compass also I have tried searching this topic but i found a dead link to the manuel.
The numbers on the top are still in degrees so you can have a compass bearing if you need it (like if the race committee gives a heading to the windward mark).
"When I spent time with Frank Bethwaite, he taught me about how to measure the timing between these shifts, how this time would decrease when going upwind, and how they would decrease going downwind. "
Timing (time between shifts) should increase going downwind.

Thank you all for the great information. Most of it could not be found in 5 seconds on google... probable 30 seconds. Although I wouldn't trust it unless it came from you guys first.
