    Re: Plotting tools
    From: Rob M

    I do a lot of plotting while teaching with the power squadron, meaning
    I also check a lot of students' work. I have found the Bi-Rota ruler
    very fast and accurate (once you get the hang of it -- it is a bit odd
    at first). However, aboard (40' sailboat), one handed dividers and
    parallel rules do the job for me (as they seem to have done for
    Captain Cook).
