Ritchie Navigation X11Y SportAbout Hand Bearing Compass
The Ritchie X11Y SportAbout is a rugged, handheld bearing compass built for mariners who need a reliable backup or a dedicated bearing tool on the water. Its International Safety Yellow silicone case is impact-resistant and easy to spot in a cockpit or ditch bag, while the neck lanyard keeps it close when conditions get rough. The 2" direct-reading dial is fast and intuitive, and the QuickSight V-notch makes taking precise bearings on landmarks, buoys, or other vessels straightforward even in a moving boat. Non-electric chem sticks provide up to 18 hours of night lighting without draining any batteries.

Parts Desk Insights
The X11Y is the compass we recommend when customers want a handheld bearing tool they can grab quickly and trust completely. The Safety Yellow case is a practical choice for anyone who has ever lost a dark-colored instrument in a cockpit locker — it stands out. The chem-stick night lighting is a genuine advantage over battery-dependent alternatives for offshore or overnight passages. If you prefer a mounted compass for your helm, the Ritchie X10BM Sport Compass (Black, Bracket Mount) or X10WM (White) are solid companions.
