No,can't help you out as I've never used one.But I've seen these advertised and often wondered about them.They seem to be built/used under the same concept of the protractor,string and nut sextant taught in emergency lifeboat navigation but sold as a stand alone unit.Hopefully someone can discribe its ease or diffaculty in use etc. -----Original Message----- From: Navigation Mailing List [mailto:NAVIGATION-L@LISTSERV.WEBKAHUNA.COM]On Behalf Of Ken James Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 02:53 To: NAVIGATION-L@LISTSERV.WEBKAHUNA.COM Subject: bris sextent Someone bought a bris emergency mini sextent on ebay, Celestaire used to sell these.
