What kinda emergency rudder system do you have?
Compass is out too . .. all you have is yourself and your skills
Spinnaker pole and predrilled plywood with U bolts. Rope harness for
rigging it across the arch supports. We have several magnets on board
(even if the compass gets broken it has a magnet too) including the
stereo speakers! With that I would magnetize a piece of steel -even one
of the emergency hacksaw blades broken in half would do. A compass rose
from a chart would do as a rose. But it's very unlikely we would lose
all 5 compasses on board.
