Hi there!

Just starting to sail. Wanted to learn the lost art of learning to use a sextant. I have researched the navistar and I think this is what I want. Could you please call me asap? (502) 767-9024

Did you sell that sextant? What year is it?
Anybody else on the forum have any sort of sextant for sale?

There are other sextants out there- remember you do not have to learn on a metal one. Somebody was selling Mark 15 for 75 dollars, but I think they are sold out.

Is it still for sale?
What is it's serial number?
What year was is made (date would be in certificate of calibration)?
What scope does it have, the 4 X 40, or the 6 X?
Do you have any digital photos of it that you could provide?
Which mirrors, whole horizon or split image?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,
Chetco
