In this short video, we explain: • What compass deviation really is • Why fiberglass boats still have deviation • How electronics can disturb your compass • Why keeping devices away from the compass matters A must-know navigation tip for beginner and intermediate sailors. 👍 Follow for more quick sailing theory and navigation tips. #Sailing #Navigation #Compass #Deviation #SailingTheory #LearnToSail #Sailboat #Yachting #SailingShorts #Nautical
