Description
Cassens & Plath CP Sailing Full View is a robust marine sextant designed for astronomical navigation at sea. The instrument is manufactured in Bremerhaven, Germany by Cassens & Plath, a manufacturer known for precision instruments for maritime navigation. The CP Sailing series is designed as a practical and reliable sextant for sailors who want a solid navigation instrument for use at sea.
The sextant is constructed with a lightweight and robust aluminum frame that makes the instrument stable and comfortable to use on board. The solid construction provides good precision while keeping the weight lower than many traditional brass sextants.
CP Sailing Full View is equipped with a full-view mirror that provides a clear and stable image during observation. This optical solution makes it easy to align the celestial body with the horizon and provides an intuitive observation for both solar and navigation star observations.
The sextant comes with a 4×40 telescope that provides clear observation during navigation. The precision engraved scale and micrometer readout allows you to measure the altitude of the sun, moon or navigational stars with high accuracy, which is crucial when calculating position through celestial navigation.
The instrument is also equipped with integrated illumination, making it easier to read the scale during night navigation or in low light. This makes the sextant convenient when observing navigational stars in dark conditions at sea.
Cassens & Plath CP Sailing Full View comes in a protective wooden case. The result is a reliable navigation instrument that combines classic maritime navigation with a lighter design for modern sailors.
