• Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
    • We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:
    • Asking price
    • Location
    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
    • Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.
    All ads should also include ALL the following:
    • Pertinent maintenance and condition information
    • Exterior picture or pictures
    • Interior picture or pictures (boats)
    For maximum impact & exposure, it is suggested the Ad Title include: Year, Manufacturer, Model, Length, Price, and Location or at the very top of the ad body. When your item has sold or the ad is no longer relevant: Please post a Reply to the ad that the item is SOLD or click "Report Post" on post 1 of the thread to ask a moderator to archive the ad. Ads may be moved or removed by our staff at any time for any reason. All ads must comply with site rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

Mike, thank you for sending the photo. I'll buy it and pay with PayPal if you will include the pelican box for the $450.

Pilou,


There are two mirrors as most all sextants have these.

A Square one attached to the arc arm at the top pivot point that adjusts to measure the arc of the height above the horizon & that is a one piece large square high quality mirror.

There are also 3 matching square filters of different shading for that mirror.

the second mirror is round one & it is fixed & aligned with the eye scope & it is a traditional split high quality mirror - 1/2 glass & 1/2 mirror.

There are 3 matching round filters of different shading for that mirror as well.

Thanks.

CCS,

Great. That works for me. PayPal works fine.

You have my PayPal e-mail address in my first posting.

$ 445.oo plus shipping. Not sure what the packing & shipping will be.

E-mail me your info & shipping address, full name & phone, etc.

thanks.

Now it`s sold, if you take the "tant" part of of the thread title, it gets intriguing.
 
Sold - !

Sextant is SOLD to Chris up in Whidbey Island, Washington State.

Shipping it out Friday the 10th.

Thanks TF.

Anyone wanting a German Plath , in good used condition , in its case , $500.

Let me know.

I purchased it from MM&P (Master Mates and Pilots) decades ago as they would sell the sextants for families that lost the user.

Have to look , but I think its a mid 50's mfg.
 
Just received the Astra III-B Sextant from Alfamike via FedEx today. Everything in great condition as described. Thank you, Mike, for making it work so well.
 
Keep a blog during the circumnavigation please! :D

Just poking fun...seriously, during your practicing .....if you find any convenient shortcuts with new apps or programs, maybe we could get a thread started for interested members.
 
I'll bet there are apps that reduce all the sitings to positions without doing the calculations.

I'll keep you posted as I explore those options. I figure there's two things a man needs to know to be competent: 1- how to cook a killer breakfast in bed for two; and 2) celestial navigation.
