KVH Azimuth® 1000 Digital Fluxgate Compass


Sailcomp photo
KVH Industries manufactured the first digital racing compass in 1978 for the French America’s Cup syndicate. Since then, there has been a KVH compass on board every winning America’s Cup boat.

 The Sailcomp 103AC is a direct descendant of that first compass and is now the most widely used electronic sailing instrument on the market. From 24 foot one-designs to the Whitbread boats, all the top racers depend on the accuracy and reliability of the Sailcomp for a tactical advantage. The remote keypad lets you choose between heading, timer, and header/lift readouts on multiple displays that the crew can read from up to 25 feet. Mount them on the mast and down below where the navigator will appreciate the NMEA 0183 compatibility to output course/distance to waypoint or cross track error.
