Time and tide,the sextant and its timer


I have used this pair on two South Atlantic voyages,my chief cook and navigator,Notty, started off by using a much favoured yacht sextant in alloy,even when marketed as a light weight yachtsmans sextant,the weight was still an issue,doing a number of tests,one sextant against the other,the differences were found to be so small that Notty only used my Davis plastic sextant from then on,its a quality made tool I must say.
