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

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.
