hi, been reading up on basic navigation and i've got myself some charts to pratice on, but i need to get a parallel ruler and dividers. I've noticed there's diffent types, does it matter which ones or is it just down to personal choice?

Personal choice.
I make my own, now to be known as the Doug748 plotting aid:

How is that for oneupmanship. Or is it a bit sad?

OK so it is a Douglas protractor stuck onto a bit of perspex. This is the mark three version, the mark one was made with a simple 360 protractor, and the mark two with the remains of the Goode................yep it is just sad.

Ti many martoonis and so to bed

It only matters if you're in the kind of job where you can get sued for not knowing the difference between a Cras, a Breton, and a Portland.

Jeez - scary stuff. I mean, really?

I think the old thread is starting to peter out, don't you? However, good fun and not bad for such an "innocent" little enquiry from the OP.

Cheers
