Sestrel Moore Compass

[Footpad]

I've got a Sestrel Moore compass, lovely bit of old fashioned kit designed for steel boats or others with deviation problems. I am going to try to flog it on Ebay - they don't make them anymore so I can't price it - what do you think it's worth.

Yes, and not only that they put me in touch with the person, now semi retired, that built my NECO autopilot system with a gyro compass and repeaters that is attached to the hydraulic seegers auto pilot. All this is operated from the Moores Sestral Compass.

Both the gentleman at Sirs (ex moores' man) and the ex NECO man were and are only too pleased to assist.

The vessel, a Suncoast 40 steel ketch, has the gyro compass up on the mizzen mast and there is NO deviation at all!

Thank you Andrew, I had no idea that SIRS had taken over the manufacture of thses beautiful instruments. I have mailed them for a new price on which I shall base my reserve (50%?).
