Hey, Doug...when someone refers to a handheld compass on a SAILBOAT,
they're usually NOT refering to this:

They mean THIS:

Can Doug the Trawler Boy? I think you need to look to Doug for all your
compass info!

Heh no reason to be so darned difficult.... I asked a simple question. I'll
explain what I think are the primary differences...

Dampening with mineral spirits
Lubbers Line
bearing gradation
Overall construction

Can you think of anything else?

After Doug didn't know what kind of hand held compass is found on a
sailboat, I don't see why you had to ruin this thread. You should have
let HIM answer, even though he doesn't carry a bearing compass by his
own admission. I prefer to use the ones in my Fuji's, but I also have
the Davis (which has poor degree markings) and the excellent Weems and
Plath.

Actually, it was Mooron's "drivel." Good work, Martin! You seem to
enjoy stepping on the wrong end of the rake each day.

Bwahahahaha!
