Compass
A rotating compass rose with your boat in the middle. Tilt-compensated: the heading stays right even when the boat heels hard. Plus heel, your boat name and the battery.
Electronic sailing instrument
Everything you want to know on board, at a glance.
Compass, tides, barometer and race timer on one round, bright colour display. Made for the cockpit: no phone, no internet, no subscription.

No phone needed
A phone in the cockpit gets wet, flat or lost. ORZALIS is fixed in place and always on.
No internet needed
Tides, sun, moon and variation are calculated inside the instrument. Far offshore too.
In your language
Nederlands, English, Deutsch, Français and Español. With your own boat name on screen.
Features
One instrument, twelve screens
Use ▲ and ▼ to page through the screens; the middle button ● performs the action of each screen. Screens you don't need can simply be switched off.
Course alarm
Lock your course with a single press of ●. Drift off by more than 15° and the screen warns you with a beep.
Large heading
Easy to read from the helm, with the average heading over the last minute and the rate of turn.
Tides
Height above chart datum, rising or falling, the tide curve and the next high and low waters. Calculated inside the instrument.
Weather
An electronic barograph: air pressure, the 3-hour trend, a short forecast and a storm warning with alarm.
Race: start timer
Four start sequences including 5-4-1-0. Sync to the start signal with one press; beeps in the final seconds.
Race: wind shifts
After the start you see per tack whether you are lifted or headed, your tacking angle and lap times.
Trip
Time and date, sailing time, maximum heel to either side and the pressure range of your trip. Everything is logged too.
Sun & moon
Sunrise, sunset, twilight and daylight left, plus the moon phase. Calculated from your position.
Night mode
Double-press ● and the screen turns red and dims, so your eyes stay adjusted to the dark.
System
Battery, brightness, compass calibration, mounting (flat, upright or tilted) and the logbook in one overview.
Tides
177 harbours, from Shetland to Gibraltar
Tides are calculated inside the instrument, without internet, up to and including 2050. Choose your country and harbour and you immediately see the height above chart datum: add it to the charted depth and you know how much water there is.
The Netherlands uses the official tidal constants of Rijkswaterstaat. For Belgium, Germany, France, Great Britain, Spain and Portugal the constants were derived from three years of Copernicus Marine tide gauge measurements.
Astronomical tide: wind, surge and river discharge are not included. Use it alongside the official tide tables.
Video
A tour of every screen
In just over four minutes you see every screen and every button. The images come straight from the instrument's firmware. The video captions are in Dutch.
