Yachtsmen should have a
working knowledge of their
magnetic compasses before ven-
turing up the lake from
Goderich. To, aimlessly depart
and follow close to the
.shoreline may prove to be
disasterous! The serious boater
will find it most advantageous
to include a compass in his
gear.
A compass, is an instrument
for determining a horizontal
referehce .to the earth and there
are two types available:.the dry
card compass and the liquid
card compass. The latter has
greater stability. The effect of
the liquid quickly dampens out
any oscillations which the card
may tend to develop (referred
to as "dead beat" action
and, by, Lenz's Law, the needle
comes to rest quicker.
With both types of com-
passes, the needle, and
therefore, the card, points to the
magnetic north and not the
geographical north. The .dif-
ference between the two direc-
tions.is "known as Variation.
Varition changes with the'
position of the ship. The value
for Variation may be found on
the chart - inside the compass
rose.
The accuracy of your - com-
paSi depends greatly on- its
position. The compass should
be placed on the middleline of
the vessel so that the magnetic
effect of each side of the ship
will be neutralized.
