Plastimo Iris 50 Hand Bearing Compass – Reliable Navigation in the Palm of Your Hand

Trusted by sailors worldwide, the Plastimo Iris 50 is the gold standard in hand-bearing compasses, combining rugged construction with pinpoint accuracy. Designed for both coastal cruising and offshore navigation, it’s compact, lightweight, and easy to handle — even in wet, rough conditions.

This high-precision sailing compass offers a smooth 360° card with 1° graduations for accurate bearings whether you’re steering a course or taking a fix. The unique photoluminescent markings provide exceptional low-light readability without batteries, making it equally dependable for night passages and daytime navigation.

Built with Plastimo’s shockproof, corrosion-resistant materials, the Iris 50 compass is tough enough for open-deck use, yet light enough to keep in your pocket or clip to a lanyard. The clever prism system allows you to take readings without losing sight of the target, while the steady card dampening ensures stable readings in a seaway.

Whether you’re racing inshore, plotting an offshore route, or double-checking your electronic navigation, the Iris 50 delivers confidence and accuracy every time. From MOB drills to coastal pilotage, it’s a versatile tool no skipper should be without.
