Detailed description

Designed for regatta sailing, the Raymarine Micro Compass T061 is a standalone, portable compass powered by a unique Tacktick solar system. This instrument is intended to provide accurate heading data and essential tactical information for performance optimization in racing.

Key features for racing

The Micro Compass T061 stands out with its tactical mode, which simplifies wind shift readings by displaying a compensated heading for both tacks, allowing sailors to decide when to tack. Its two-line display offers optimal readability, even in trapeze position, with 20 mm high characters. It also includes an easy-to-use countdown timer with resync function for race starts.

Design and autonomy

This compass is waterproof and submersible to 10 meters, ensuring reliability in marine environments. Its solar charging system provides extended autonomy, with battery life up to 200 hours without sunlight after a full charge. The T061 requires no adjustment for southern hemisphere effects and automatically shuts off after 7 minutes without detected movement, preserving its charge. The pack includes the Micro Compass, a protective cover, a mounting cradle, hardware (4 M4 nuts, bolts, and washers), the user manual, a warranty card, and the T005 mast bracket.

« The Micro Compass T061: the wireless tactical asset for racing »

The Raymarine Micro Compass T061, successor to the Tacktick technology, is a standalone wireless solution specifically designed for racers on lightweight sailboats, dinghies, and small keelboats. Its practical value lies in providing instantaneous tactical heading data, crucial for analyzing wind shifts and optimizing upwind trajectories. Unlike integrated navigation systems that require complex NMEA infrastructure, the T061 operates independently, offering great flexibility.

Installation is simplified by its T005 mast bracket, allowing quick mounting without significant drilling on non-conductive surfaces. It is essential to maintain a minimum distance of 1 meter from magnetic objects (pumps, speakers, iron keel) and to mount it vertically to ensure the accuracy of the internal fluxgate compass. This positioning requirement is a key point to avoid deviations. This model is particularly suited to crews prioritizing lightweight and portability, enabling the instrument to be transferred between boats or stored securely.

Its major differentiation from a traditional heading compass lies in its tactical display and integrated stopwatch, vital functions for starts and race strategy. However, it does not replace a complete navigation system for offshore cruising or boats requiring complex data interconnection. It is a pure performance tool, focused on essential racing information, and does not require external power thanks to its solar panel.

How is the Micro Compass T061 powered and what is its battery life?

The Micro Compass T061 is powered by a unique Tacktick solar system. After a full charge, the battery provides up to 200 hours of operation without sunlight. If the battery level drops below 50 hours, it is recommended to recharge it by placing it in full sun for 2 days, with the solar cell directly exposed to midday sun. Charging under slightly cloudy skies takes about 10 days, while it will not charge in overcast conditions or indoors.

What are the main features of the Micro Compass T061 for regatta racing?

The Micro Compass T061 is specifically designed for regatta racing and offers several key features:

Tactical mode: It simplifies wind shift readings by displaying a compensated heading for both tacks, helping sailors decide the optimal time to tack.Countdown timer: Easy to use with a resync function for precise race starts. It can be set up to 20 minutes.Dual-line display: Provides optimal readability with 20 mm high characters, even when trapeze sailing.Heading display: Provides digital accuracy of the magnetic heading.

Are there any specific precautions to take when installing the Micro Compass T061 to ensure its accuracy?

Yes, to ensure the accuracy of your Micro Compass T061, it is important to follow these installation guidelines:

Mounting angle: The compass must be mounted within 20° of vertical. A steeper angle can cause deviation errors.Magnetic objects: Do not mount the compass within 0.6 meters (2 feet) of magnetic objects, including conventional compasses.Safety: Before each race, ensure the mounting bracket is securely fastened and safety bolts are tightened.

How to turn on and off the Micro Compass T061?

To turn your Micro Compass T061 on and off:

Turn on: The Micro Compass turns on automatically when you remove it from its protective soft pack, as it responds to increased light on its solar cell. If the unit is already out, you can cover it with your hand and then uncover it to turn it on. Indoor light may not be sufficient to activate it.Turn off: First place your Micro Compass in its protective soft pack to prevent accidental reactivation. Then press and hold the 'mode' button for 2 seconds until the screen goes blank. The device also turns off automatically after 7 minutes without motion detection (this function is inactive at sea).

Does the Micro Compass T061 require any adjustment for use in the Southern Hemisphere?
