In Response To: deck mounted compass (Ken Rasmussen)

: I used to have a Suunto K16 compass that I really liked. The card was green
: and red, and it had a movable bezel. (It was a tactical racing compass.)
: These are no longer on the market. Does anyone know where I can get one?
: Or, if not, what is the nicest deck compass you're aware of. The best
: thing I can think of on the current market is Ritchie's Kayaker (also with
: movable bezel). Does anyone know of anything better than that? Partly this
: is an appearance issue. Most compasses point north, but some do it with
: more style than others. I liked the low profile, the styling, and the
: colors of the Suunto K16. It was a handsome thing. I sold my boat that it
: was mounted in, and the guy I sold the boat to wouldn't accept the boat
: with another new compass substituted in its place! We were fighting over
: the compass!

Yes the Suunto K16 was a nice compass

Here is another god compass with a very easy to fit bracket
