A Sextant for a Yacht

Compact German-made sextant with a wooden case

A compact marine sextant from Freiberger in Germany, made for the smaller chart table and stowage of a yacht. The light-alloy frame carries an arc of 142 mm radius reading from −3° to +123°, and the drum is graduated in minutes and read by estimation to 0.1′. The telescope is a detachable 3.2x30.

It has a split horizon mirror, three index shades and two horizon shades on metal frames, and the index arm runs between the frame and the handle. The sextant measures 24 x 21 x 11 cm and weighs about 0.86 kg; it comes in a wooden case (about 2.8 kg packed), with an adjusting key, a user's guide and a test certificate of its corrections.
