Description
Cassens & Plath Bobby Schenk Astro Classic is a classic marine sextant designed for astronomical navigation at sea. The instrument is manufactured in Bremerhaven, Germany, by Cassens & Plath, a manufacturer with a long tradition in precision instruments for maritime navigation. Developed in collaboration with long-distance sailor Bobby Schenk, the model is specially designed for sailors who want a robust and precise instrument for practical celestial navigation.
The sextant is constructed with a precision frame and high-quality optics. The clear scale and micrometer reading make it possible to measure the altitude of the sun, moon and navigation stars with high accuracy. This makes the instrument well-suited to classic offshore navigation, where position is calculated using observations of celestial bodies.
The Bobby Schenk Astro Classic comes with a 4×40 telescope that provides clear and stable observation during navigation. The telescope makes it easier to observe celestial objects even in demanding on-deck conditions and contributes to more precise measurements during practical use.
The sextant is equipped with a full-view mirror that provides a clear image during observation. This optical solution makes the instrument intuitive to use and well suited for both experienced navigators and sailors learning astronomical navigation.
The Astro Classic comes in a lightweight and convenient carrying case, making the instrument easy to store and protect on board. The result is a sextant that combines classic maritime instrument tradition with modern precision optics.
The Cassens & Plath Bobby Schenk Astro Classic is a reliable navigation instrument for sailors who want a classic tool for astronomical navigation.
