The Tactician Sailing Compass from Ritchie Navigation was designed specifically for sailors who want to gain a strategic advantage over their competitors—or simply get a better table for dinner at the club. Always ready to double as a navigation device, it's the ideal addition to any small or mid-sized sailboat.
Made in the USA, the Tactician Sailing Compass is unique from other magnetic compasses. The Blue 3" CombiDial card has standard 5° marks and 30° numeric references but adds six tactical quadrants on the side. The white bezel with blue degree references can be adjusted and used as a heading memory indicator. These combine with the four bright red lubber lines to provide a fast and easy reference as to whether the wind direction is lifting or heading the boat.
The card is set atop a sapphire jewel bearing on a hardened steel gimbal. Exclusive DirectiveForce™ magnets ensure the Tactician Sailing Compass dial doesn't spin or jump, even when sailing in confused seas.
Because of its compact size of only 4.2" dia. x 2.8" H, the compass will fit on a crowded deck. Larger boats often install two, one on either side, for optimal viewing while seated on the rail. The Tactician Sailing Compass (XP-98W) is 100% repairable and comes with a five-year warranty. www.ritchienavigation.com.

Monaco Energy Boats Could Be Heading to Canada
The 10th edition of the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge (MEBC) has wrapped up at the Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM) and it gives a compelling look at the future of electric boating.
The MEBC was started in 2014 as a competition between university teams who built and raced boats powered only by solar power and batteries. To encourage more participation from institutions that may not have naval architecture or boat construction expertise, the YCM introduced the Energy Class competition. The club supplies the student teams with the same one-design catamaran hull, and each team adds their own cockpit and propulsion system that can be powered by any renewable alternative energy sources, not just solar.
