Ritchie SR-2 Venture Sail Boat Compass w/Clinometer - Bulkhead Mount - Black

The Ritchie SR-2 Venture Sail Boat Compass with Clinometer is designed for sailors and cruising boaters seeking a reliable directional reference in varying conditions. This bulkhead-mounted instrument is essential for monitoring heel angle during sail trim and heavy weather operations, making it a valuable tool for both racing and cruising.

The SR-2 features an internally gimballed compass rose that maintains level orientation across typical boat heel angles, preventing card jamming and ensuring readable bearings even in challenging conditions. The integrated clinometer allows for quick visual assessment of heel, which is crucial for evaluating sail balance and weight distribution during extended offshore passages. Ritchie's dampening fluid formula minimizes card oscillation while maintaining response speed, distinguishing it from lower-quality marine instruments.

Serious sailors and cruising enthusiasts will appreciate the SR-2's compact design, which fits standard bulkhead openings, and its black faceplate that reduces glare during daylight while providing high contrast for night operations. This compass is suitable for sailboats, cruising vessels, and charter operations, ensuring that navigators have the tools they need for safe and precise navigation.
