ParaLock Plotter 7.25" NaviTote Tamaya Sextant
The primary purpose of the Paralock Plotter is to enable the transfer of GPS positions rapidly, easily and accurately to and from any paper chart. The Paralock Plotter features three unique design concepts: a locking knob that allows the user to quickly plot a GPS position on paper charts, two sets of finger holes that enable finger tips to act as friction pads on the underlying chart. Roll it, fold it or hang it, the NaviTote will keep your Weems and Plath navigation tools in good order. It works beautifully as a navigation tool caddie at the chart table. A very nice Tamaya Sextant, serial # 25198, believed to date from 1969. The Certificate of Examination (1969) shows the sextant to be free from material error. The index arm is a little stiff and the holder for the index mirror is missing some paint. The mirrors are excellent. The shades and filters are excellent. Overall this is a very good used sextant. The scope is 7 x 35. The box is sturdy but shows wear. A local merchant sailor came home from the sea.
