🧭 Compass Basics
Magnetic Compass vs. True North
- Magnetic North — the compass needle aligns with Earth’s magnetic field, always pointing to magnetic north.
- True North — the geographic North Pole; navigation charts often reference it.
- Why sailors prefer magnetic — it’s simple, reliable, and works anywhere without batteries or satellites.
- Essential for racing & cruising — even with GPS, every boat keeps a magnetic compass as backup and for precise bearings.
