Weems & PlathPortable navigation system designed for accurate navigating with any chart, chartkit, or chartbook. The plotter is made of solid wood and an integrated adjustable parallel arm fitted with a moveable compass rose. This permits the direct plotting of magnetic compass courses and firmly supports chart work whether in the cockpit, on deck, or below. Plot a course to a given point by locking the rule at a given bearing. By moving the rule so that the point is on an edge, you quickly determine the correct line of position on a chart for that bearing. A see-through acrylic sheet overlays and protects the chart as you plot and allows for notations using a dry erase marker (included). A tough custom nylon carrying case is included. Dims: 22-5/8" x 20-3/16".
A standard acrylic plotter with moveable compass rose and three scales on both edges. Matt surface to allow pencil marking.
Innovative straight-line action and special pencil guide holes enable latitude and longitude obtained from GPS to be quickly, easily and accurately plotted on paper chart in simple two-step manoeuvre.Features protractor markings - can also serve as conventional style plotting device and parallel rule. One size covers all charts.Has innovative slip and grip feature that helps improve accuracy.Dimensions: 108mm x 406mm.
A bright green directional arrow prevents accidental reciprocal bearings and the edges are graduated for tide and boat speed. The base has a fixed grid so it is easy to plot latitude and longitude from your GPS system. Comprehensive instructions included.

Weems and Plath The 8" x 2" plotter, mounted on a marine aluminium roller assembly, contains a semi-circular protractor, distance scales of 1:20,000 and 1:40,000, as well as an inch scale. Dims: 2" x 8".
This instrument consists of a plotter mounted on a roller. The plotter contains distance scales at 1:20,000, 1:40,000, and 1:80,000, as well as an inch scale. Included are a semi-circular protractor for measuring courses and bearings against a meridian on the chart, and two quarter circle protractors for measuring courses and bearings against a parallel of latitude. Courses and parallel lines are transferred and kept parallel by means of two rollers which are mounted on a slide axis. Used for measuring or laying off courses and distances on a nautical chart. Instructions included. Dims: 3.5" x 12.5".

Weems and PlathAn advanced navigation tool, the circular slide rule provides for the solution of time, speed and distance, fuel consumption, conversions, multiplication, and division. On the reverse, the face of the Vectormaster permits rapid solution of problems involving vectors, such as those encountered in current sailing, the determination of true wind direction and force, and the apparent wind to be expected on other headings. Given the position of a storm, and the direction and speed of its advance, you may quickly determine the course which will put maximum distance between your vessel and the oncoming storm. Instruction booklet included. Dims: 7" square
