ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE: A magnetic compass for vessel sailing. The compass com- prises a turnable body part having a scale, a turnable main stee- ring index directed to the scale, a compass card box enclosed by the body part and stationary relatively thereto, and a compass card turnably carried by the compass card box and serving as a magnetic needle. The compass card has upon its top surface a scale, two marks located at points consistent with the tacking charac- teristics of the vessel and indicating tacking direction. Those marks are spaced to the extent of substantially ninety degrees, the sector between the marks having a specific color. The compass card has two other equal sectors located on the opposite sides of the first-mentioned sector and has a color contrasting with the color of that first sector, the colors of all three sectors contrasting with the coloring of other areas of the compass card. The three sectors have a total area equivalent substantially to an area constituted by 180 degrees.
