Sailteck SK01 Race Compass with Countdown Timer

Sailteck SK01 Race Compass with Countdown Timer

The Sailteck Race Compass is an advanced compass explicitly designed for competitive sailing in dinghies, catamarans, and small keelboats.

It features a two-line display that shows both the countdown timer and heading simultaneously, which is crucial for an optimal start and tactical racing.

• High readability: The 30 mm high characters ensure clear visibility, even from crouched or trapeze positions.  For effortless wind-shift detection, Sailteck's 30mm digit height is the maximum allowed under class rules. The display features an additional polarizer which remixes the orientation of the light, ensuring visibility with polaroid sunglasses.
• Sailteck uses the latest-generation high-efficiency cells, and the large solar panel ensures robust performance in all weather conditions. Sailteck’s power production exceeds its power requirements even in the rain. This means you can count on reliable operation without needing to resort to external charging.
• Easy operation: A three-button countdown system allows you to start and adjust the timer even during the countdown.
• Reliable performance: Sailteck uses proven sealing techniques to guarantee water integrity to 20m submersion and IPX-8.  High-grade thermoplastics ensure zero corrosion, no matter where you sail. The silicon rubber keypad provides excellent tactile feedback while maintaining full water integrity through contactless optical switching technology. Sailteck also floats in salt and fresh water
• Class-legal: The compass only uses magnetic heading as input and does not contain GPS, making it compliant with many sailing class regulations.
