| You don't have to own
a 100 foot schooner to use our services, most of our clients'
yachts are less than 40 feet long. Its not unusual for some
owners, when they acquire a new yacht to assume that the compasses
aboard will be accurate. Until the yacht has been 'Swung'
and the compasses properly adjusted, deviations are normally
present which can be considerable & need adjustment.
This is caused by a variety of items such as music speakers,
V.H.F. sets, tachometers,engines etc. which can all produce
large compass errors that require adjustment. Once properly
Swung and Adjusted, your compasses are usually left with very
small residual deviations of around one degree, which is recorded
on your Deviation Card which every yacht is issued
with. Amongst your Yacht's Navigational Items, do you have
a 'Compass Deviation Card?'
