Hi Rolf,

That's never been a problem! The numbers are quite large and because it's a tactical compass, you're not reading bearings. Instead you're only looking for say, Green 4 or Red 3 or Red 2 etc.

What spray?

Oh yeah, I remember my Tornado days now! Actually spray is not really a problem on the Stealth - flat bottomed hulls you see?

Seriously though, I had similar setups on all my Tornados except one which had twin compasses just behind the mainbeam (fitted on the deckhatches). If it was really honking, spray could sometimes be a problem but that was more from the fact that I was hiking the b***dy boat! Now you're out on the wire as well surely life is easier, isn't it?
