Just as a side note on 35-1 compasses, when I bought Touche', it had Saturn Gemini compasses mounted on the port and starboard cockpit coamings by the big double foot blocks. Touche' was seriously raced for a few years and the compasses were right in front of the helmsman sitting on the side of the cockpit.
They were crazed and useless. Since Touche' has a Nexus instrument system with flux gate compass and displays, I replaced them with inspection ports.
