This compass can be hand held, or installed in any inclination or position, vertical, horizontal, lying flat or even upside down above the skipper's berth as a telltale compass. The Iris is a race course compass which can also be used to take hand bearings. Easily moved around the boat, it is simply clipped onto its smooth-edged bracket, which is designed not to catch sails or hurt fingers. A soft rubber casing provides protection against shocks.
