Doesn't cost an arm and a leg: is there such a thing? The new ones are $350, and then there are the antiques :eek: But they are cool, and I want one!!

You could use a porthole compass or a hand bearing compass. I find myself using my little yellow GPS.

That would be the practical thing to do. . .Wouldn't cost me any money either.:) Maybe I'll come across one on Ebay, and the seller won't know what they've got.

I believe it's going for about $1800. :(

You're supposed to keep a catamaran light. What do you want all that extra weight for. Wharram even made his women sail without clothes to cut down on the weight.
