Compact Rolling Rule

Efficient navigation tool for smaller spaces

The Weems & Plath Compact Parallel Plotter is a versatile and efficient navigation tool designed for plotting courses and measuring distances on nautical charts, even in confined spaces.

This compact plotter, measuring just 8.2 inches (20.8cm), features a unique roller design that allows for smooth and precise movement across the chart. It eliminates the need for traditional parallel rules or triangles, making it ideal for use on smaller chart tables or in crowded cockpits.

Features:
  • 8.2-inches (20.8cm) long
  • Durable acrylic plotter mounted on a marine aluminium roller assembly
  • Distance scales at 1:20,000 and 1:40,000
  • Inch scale for added versatility
  • Semi-circular protractor for measuring bearings
  • Plastic storage sleeve with instructions
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty
How to Use the Compact Parallel Plotter

To plot a course, align the plotter's edge with your desired course or bearing on the chart. Roll the plotter across the chart to transfer the line or angle to a new position. The integrated protractor allows you to measure bearings directly from any meridian on the chart, eliminating the need for a compass rose.

Efficient Chartwork in Confined Spaces

The Compact Parallel Plotter is a valuable tool for any navigator who appreciates efficiency and convenience. Its compact size and roller design make it ideal for use in smaller spaces, while its accurate scales and protractor ensure precise navigation.
