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.

Part of the weight of the card and magnet is supported by buoyancy and part by an irridium point fitted into the sapphire bearing. The bowl is made of copper to aid in reducing the period of oscillation.
