Great to hear that things were okay from the storm, I talked to my family just north of you in Ocean Township and they were fine also

Both my Danforth compasses were mounted in front of the flat wind screen on the deck, one on my side and one for the Nav.
There use to be a guy in Briellie or Point that would fix them and then would calibrate them on your boat. he did mine before i raced the Benihanna GP

Thank you
Jim

Hi Scippy, if is any more help my Danforth needs about a 5 1/2" hole give or take, has a 7" flange, with a 4 1/2" dia dome. Do you need a picture or is that good enough?

Hi Bud, you are right, that looks great. Please put me down for one of those, by the way how much is it ? please.Also 2 cabin lights, what is the price for them also ?
I will be in Sarasota in November with my shopping list to bring home in my luggage

Up until 78 or so most of the high performance boats, race boats too, used the Danforth. I was one of the teams that did the testing for Ritchie. Ritchie used a very high grade oil that acted as a dampener for the card when it spun. To be period correct, use the Danforth, to have the best high speed compass, use the Ritchie.

Ian,

What can you tell us about this boat?
