I can think of four compasses each with a dedicated
purpose, that I'd want on an ocan going yacht.

What are they?


Steering compass at the helm. (Inside and out)
Hand held compass for visual fixes.
Boats compass for an emergency backup.
Drawing compass for radar fixes.
Tattle tale compass for glancing at from your bunk.
Fluxgate for the autopilot/radar stabilization.

Oops, more than 4!
