No, no, no, no, no, no. It has a compass if you call that an instrument.

I guess it's nice on BIG sailboats but I still think it's not necessary and it
seems to take away from time spent sailing. Are sailboats supposed to hold
all of western civilization? I've got a house for all that stuff.

No, just the stuff that makes sailing more
enjoyable....including the kitchen sink.

Is that were you 'hustle and bustle'?
