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.
Did you equip a Ritchie compass on the 24' Banana?........based on the same type (flush mount 4 1/2" dome Dansforth or Ritchie compass) the Ritchie is several hundred less.
