No offence intended, Martin

... I was trying to emphasise your point.

No offence taken at all Michael

Perhaps I did not read the comments closely enough. I have always found your input to be among the most knowledgable and interesting on this site.

With best regards

Many marine compasses have large iron balls either side of the binnacle to reduce/adjust the localised magnetic forces and promote a more accurate compass reading. Most boats will have a table showing the error for all significant points of the boats heading aftre the boat has been 'swung ' at anchor and readings noted.

That without getting into 'variation' and chartwork!

Cheers, Martin

Could I suggest reading "The End of the Tether" by Joseph Conrad.
