Classification And Application Of Yacht Magnetic Compass.

The yacht magnetic compass is an instrument used to indicate the ship's course and observe the orientation of the object. The pointing principle is based on the magnetic effect of the geomagnetism on the free magnetic needle, the same-sex repulsion and the opposite-sex attraction, so that the two ends of the magnetic needle point to the north and south poles of the geomagnetism to achieve pointing. the goal of.

    So what is the structure of the yacht magnetic compass?

   The general magnetic compass has the difference between the driving compass and the standard compass. The standard yacht magnetic compass has an azimuth circle, which can be used to observe the ship's position, the sun and the azimuth of the object. The yacht magnetic compass is mainly composed of basin body, compass fluid, liquid injection hole, compass disc, axle needle, axle cap and compass baseline.

The application of yacht magnetic compass in practice:

   According to the purpose, it can be divided into two types, namely, the steerable sailboat, the fixed driving magnetic compass installed on the boat, the electronic compass and the hand-held compass for observing the orientation of the object. Hand-held compasses currently use hand-held magnetic compass and hand-held electronic compass.

   There is also a pair of keel type and catamaran sailboats, whether it is a competition type or a recreational type, generally in addition to the global positioning navigator "GPS", a driving magnetic compass or an electronic compass must be installed.

    The yacht magnetic compass is generally used to grasp the heading, observe the orientation of objects and obstacles, and judge the wind direction and flow direction, etc.
