A Dublin Bay-based race boat crew that have made modifications to their deck layout for the 2021 season require a flush-mounted deck compass to fit a 99-mm opening before the sailing season starts (hopefully) next month.

The Plastimo 95 model compass or similar would fit the bill, they say but it is proving hard to source.

Anyone with one of these vintage models in their spares box and willing to trade can get in touch through Afloat by email webeditor@afloat.ie (subject line; compass) and we'll be happy to make the connection.
