The Ritchie B-81-WM Voyager carries Wheelmark certification, built for lifeboat and rescue boat compasses under the Marine Equipment Directive, while remaining just as suitable for sailboats, power boats, and motor sailing vessels that don’t need the certification but want the same build quality.
The 3-inch CombiDamp dial is adjustable and removable with a bracket and thumbscrews, and 12V green LED lighting keeps it readable after dark. Built-in compensators handle local deviation adjustment, and a scientifically matched sapphire jewel with a hardened steel pivot keeps the movement smooth under DirectiveForce magnets for a fast heading lock.
A movable sun shield and high-temperature composite construction round out a compass that’s 100% repairable and backed by Ritchie’s exclusive 5-year warranty. The WM suffix signifies type approval under Marine Equipment Directive 95/98/EC, as last modified by Directive 2011/75/EU. Shop more marine compasses.
