The Silva 70P is a bulkhead mount compass designed for yachtsmen who demand absolute accuracy and a steady card in all conditions and is perfect for kayaking.

The compass handles unlimited slope of the keel line and a 30º heeling angle. The curved lubber line enables swift and clear reading at a glance without parallax errors. With a main steering scale on the horizontal part and direct reading on the vertical edge,

70P is ideal for boats with a sitting as well as a standing helmsman. It can be mounted at most angles and its compact size (70 mm) makes it suitable for smaller boats.

Some kayaks, such as most P&H kayaks, come with a molded-in compass mounting point on the front deck. Other kayaks may require modifications to install this type of compass.
