Davis Instruments has introduced a new range of Quick Reference Cards, designed to deliver essential information in a clear, colourful format, ideal for boat owners or charter sailors looking for a quick answer.

The 22cm x 28cm weatherproof, high-strength plastic pages are expertly illustrated and organised. Three-hole punched, the set of seven cards can be kept conveniently at hand in a binder.

Covering boating in general, the basic Boating Guide includes a pre-departure checklist and emergency procedures. Dead reckoning, true-magnetic and compass relationships are a few of the subjects of the Coastwise Piloting QRC. A time-distance-speed calculator and bearing gauge are included. Navigation rules, International Maritime Buoyage System and COLREGS, celestial navigation, marine electronics and weather forecasting are just some of the additional topics covered.

Also available are the Pocket Quick Reference Cards, a set of six 7.6cm x 10.2cm cards covering topics such as fueling procedures, what to do in case of fire and administering CPR.
