Plastimo Olympic Tactical Compass — Precision You Can Trust at Sea

The Plastimo Olympic Tactical Compass is a high-visibility, race-ready marine compass engineered for skippers who demand fast, reliable headings and tactical clarity. Its large, easy-to-read card, fluid-damped stability and tactical graduation help you make confident layline calls, judge wind shifts and hold a perfect course when it matters most. Built to endure harsh marine conditions, this compass combines rugged construction, exceptional readability and intuitive tactical markings to keep you ahead—whether you are coaching, cruising or pushing for the podium.

Key Benefits and Applications

• Instant tactical awareness — The tactical graduation lets you compare headings on opposite tacks at a glance, so you can spot lifts and headers quickly and choose the fastest lane.
• Fast decisions under pressure — Bold, high-contrast markings and a steady card help you read the heading immediately, reducing the time between seeing a shift and trimming or tacking.
• Superior readability in all light — An anti-glare dome and integrated night lighting maintain crisp visibility from dawn starts to evening returns, supporting safe navigation around the clock.
• Built for rough conditions — A shock- and UV-resistant housing with a fluid-damped card delivers smooth, stable readings in chop, swell and high apparent wind.
• Versatile fit for many boats — Compact yet highly legible, it suits performance dinghies, sportboats and small keelboats, as well as coach and patrol craft that require quick, dependable heading checks.
• Confidence that lasts — Marine-grade materials, precision bearings and a sealed dome provide long-term reliability with minimal maintenance.

Featured technical specifications
