DESCRIPTION

The Velocitek Prism is the world’s lightest digital sailing compass — 137 g (4.8 oz) of solar-powered, sunlight-readable heading and shift data, class-legal because it uses magnetic input only.

A high-precision 3-axis solid-state magnetometer (aerospace-grade) samples 44 times a second for fast, steady headings, shown in 29.8 mm digits readable across a huge 250° cone. Solar charging means you rarely think about the battery, and every unit is pressure-tested to 3 m (IPX8) before it ships.

Because it reads magnetic heading only — no GPS — the Prism is legal in many one-design and dinghy classes that ban GPS compasses. Mount it on the mast or a bulkhead with the included slide-in cradle.

MAURIPRO Tech-Team note: Check your class rules first — the Prism’s magnetic-only input is what keeps it legal where GPS compasses are banned. Authorized Velocitek dealer; our team can confirm fit and mounting via the Tech Team link.
