Should You Get a Plastic or Metal Sextant?
A common question is whether a plastic sextant can do the job at sea. In short, yes it can. In this video I compare a Davis plastic sextant to a Celestaire metal sextant.
Although the metal sextant is definitely sturdier and a little more accurate, the plastic sextant is also well built and a great starting point for either emergency navigation or just getting started in celestial navigation.
