    Thanks for sending this, but I'm still not sure why this sextant has any advantages over other small (7/8 size?) sextants...

    Well, we are talking about the French :)   I expect the provenance was as significant as the custom features.

    That said, I'm tickled to see that Pen Duïck II is racing again. Funny to think that such a graceful boat was once though "extreme".
