[net.rec.boat] sextants

dikiw@mmintl.UUCP (Diki Wozniak) (04/15/85)

	Several people were kind enough to respond to my query on Sextants. 
	The Freiberger sextants (both 3/4 and full size) are the choice of
	most netters, with the Zeis Iena also being mentioned as a good
	sextant.  It seems everyone on the net appreciates Plath from afar
	due to their high price. 

	Kelvin Hughes of London was recomended by two people as a good
	source.   Two question remain:

	Does anyone know a source for the Freiberger in Conn./R.I./Mass
	or NYC area?   OR

	Does anyone have the address of Kelvin Hughes in London?

	Thanks in advance.

Is the US Navy still using the WW II vintage Mark II's?  Are any
available to the public anywhere?
