    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.

    Stan

    Here are the specs: http://www.cpi-meca.com/m-234-marine.html
    
    Fortal HR is a fancy aluminium alloy (
    http://www.supdie.com/products/product-materials/ ).
    
    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.
