| Challenge: Old School, New Think Sextant
Back in the seventies (I'm an old fart) there was a Time Magazine article abot someone who was going to build a sextant with a chronometer built into the handle. This never came to market, and with GPS, probably will never do so, as well. I'd like to hollow out the handle on one of my sextants and build a pushbutton to "mark" my own sights. Does anyone know of chronometer kits that could do the job?
