I was wondering if any of you fellow catamaran sailors could make a recommendation for a reasonably priced compass for my Inter 18. I am interested in a ‘starter’ compass that the crew and I can see while sailing. Does anyone have an opinion of the various compasses that mount upon the trampoline? Are they hard to read while sailing?
While I will eventually get a Tacktick compass (or GPS), I first thought it would be a good idea to start with a compass that mounts on the tramp (for ‘knocking around’ on weekends). I am talking about recreational sailing with the college sailing club, my Boy Scout troop (I am a Scout Master), or with my family.

Thanks in advance. I am not the most experienced sailor and therfore, I will appreciate any help you are willing to give!
