Silva 58 Kayak Compass, clip-on direct reading deck compass

The Silva 58 Kayak Compass comes ready to be clipped onto your kayak's perimeter lines and its dial is easy to read. A great option for paddlers who don't want a permanent deck compass or if your kayak doesn't have a molded compass insert. Direct reading compasses are so much easier to use in a kayak than orienteering style compasses because with a direct reading compass, what you see is what you get -- there's no having to lining up a needle with the N and trying to keep it there while siting your landmark and trying to keep the kayak from turning. With the Silva 58 Kayak Compass you just point your bow at a landmark and read the dial; that's the bearing - simple. Get one and stop trying to get by with a hand bearing/orienteering landlubber compass.
