The plotter is made in the UK from a high-quality clear acrylic with numbers and scales that are easy to read even on a moving boat and in poor light.The dividers are solid brass with a smooth operation which can be adjusted to make them really easy to use for measuring distances quickly and simply. The plotter and dividers are made in the UK by a well established marine product manufacturer. CONDITION Brand new and unused. The plotter will be supplied in the original manufacturer's packaging with the instructions included. A canvas sleeve is supplied with each plotter and is available in a range of colours. Each sleeve is hand-made in the UK from a tough canvas and will protect your plotter from scuffs and scratches, as well as looking smart on your desk or chart table. Each sleeve has storage for one plotter, a pair of dividers and two chart pencils (not included). Please select the colour you would like when making your purchase. We have selected some chart pencils which will not damage your charts, please select if you would like them included with your kit. RECOMMENDATION I have been using the Portland Plotter and dividers with my students on Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Day Skipper and Yachtmaster courses for many years and the Portland Plotter and Dividers kit is used at RYA training centres around the world. My students have always found them easy to use and robust enough for use afloat as well as ashore. I will only sell products that I have personally tried and tested and can recommend. QUESTIONS I am very happy to take questions. Thank you for looking. Russ Russ Coxon RYA Yachtmaster Instructor and Examiner RYA Powerboat Trainer
