The Elite racing models have been developed by the world’s top racers and Olympic sailors. The tactical scales and quick readability give a critical advantage. The cone-shaped card with gimbaled lubber lines has a main steering scale on the horizontal part of the compass card and a tactical scale on the vertical edge of the card. Detecting wind shifts may be the tiny difference between winning and loosing. Silva’s tactical scale grades from 0-20 and the figures correspond on port and starboard tack. If the reading on starboard tack is 2 the reading on port after tacking should also be 2. In this way you only have to remember one figure. This is a great benefit in triangular course sailing where racers need to watch the wind shifts, rather than their actual course.Weight
