Luc,

Thanks for sending this, but I'm still not sure why this sextant has any advantages over other small (7/8 size?) sextants. Is it lighter? The specs do not mention weight. The asymmetrical frame is also interesting.

Here are the specs: http://www.cpi-meca.com/m-234-marine.html

Fortal HR is a fancy aluminium alloy (

Loic's version differs in a few aspects. The hockey-stick shaped horizon
shades look interesting.

Next to it on the board in the background is a Sangean ATS 505 radio,
with the blue sticker still on it.
