To help keep those aboard safe, critical equipment such as the compass must hold up in the rough stuff. The 4.5″ SS-2000 SuperSport™ Navigator from Ritchie Navigation passes the test; it was developed for offshore racing where pounding through rough water is just an average day. Featuring PowerDamp technology and DirectiveForce™ magnets, the high-visibility blue card is velvety-smooth, yet quick to respond to course changes, making it the ideal compass for recreational or professional use.

The high-performance SS-2000 SuperSport’s PowerDamp Plus dial has extra-large white numbers for reading at a distance. White 45° lubberlines on either side of the main lubberline make holding a course easy from different viewing angles. This durable Ritchie compass comes standard with a movable sun shield and 12V green LED illumination to optimize viewing for any condition.

Extra-large hardened steel pivots, an internal gimbal system and jeweled bearings on the SS-2000 SuperSport ensure maximum stability during adverse pitch and roll conditions. Built-in compensators easily adjust for deviation for a wider range of installation locations.

Available in black and white, the flush-mount Ritchie SS-2000 SuperSport fits a 4.75″–5.125″ hole. A mounting gasket and template are included. It comes with a five-year warranty, is 100% repairable and in the USA, has an MSRP of $451.93 USD.

Spotted! Canadian Boating in Antigua & Barbuda

By Mathew Channer

I wore my Canadian Boating cap everywhere I went in Antigua, for the sun, not for the shout-outs. But I sure received a lot of them.

Antigua Sailing Week is an international regatta that draws sailors of every level and spectators from all over the world. Yet I couldn’t walk across a room without being hailed by a Canadian who was as excited to see my cap as they were to see the racing. I met many who were on their 3rd, 4th and 5th visit.
