24" Parallel Ruler with Brushed Aluminum Arms
Precision Navigation Starts Here
When every degree counts, this 24" parallel ruler delivers unmatched accuracy for plotting courses on large nautical charts. Designed for professional mariners and serious navigators, its extra-long length ensures smooth, consistent angle transfers across even the widest chart tables. The ruler's extended reach eliminates the need for multiple adjustments, reducing errors during critical route planning.
Built for Demanding Marine Environments
Crafted from durable clear acrylic with reinforced brushed aluminum arms, this parallel ruler combines lightweight handling with rugged durability. The 1/4" thick acrylic resists warping and maintains its shape under constant use, while the brushed aluminum components provide a secure grip and long-lasting structural integrity. At just 0.81 lbs, it's easy to maneuver yet substantial enough to stay precisely in place during plotting.
Versatile Navigation Tool in One
More than just a straightedge, this instrument integrates three essential navigation functions. The built-in 180-degree protractor scale allows for quick angle measurements, while the parallel ruling mechanism maintains consistent headings across chart sections. The ruler's design enables seamless transitions between plotting, measuring, and course adjustments - all without switching tools.
Engineered for Professional Workflows
The ruler's extended 24" length makes it particularly valuable for commercial applications where large-scale charts are standard. The beveled acrylic edges glide smoothly across chart surfaces, while the integrated handles provide multiple grip options for different plotting techniques. Whether working with paper charts or digital displays, this tool adapts to various navigation setups while maintaining its legendary precision.

What is the maximum angle that can be measured with the built-in protractor?
The integrated protractor scale allows for a full 180-degree measurement, with the center located at the midpoint of the lower edge when the arms are closed.
How do the parallel arms maintain accuracy when moving across a chart?
The two straightedges are hinged to maintain a consistent angle. By alternating the movable edge while keeping the fixed edge steady, the tool glides smoothly while preserving parallel alignment.
Is the acrylic material prone to scratching during regular use?
The clear acrylic is precision-milled with beveled edges for durability, designed to withstand frequent commercial use without easily scratching.
What is the exact weight of the tool for portability considerations?
The unit weighs 0.81 lb (368 g), making it lightweight yet stable for precise navigation plotting.
Can the tool be used for plotting courses from any reference line on a chart?
Yes, headings can be measured from any convenient meridian, offering flexibility for various chart layouts.
Are replacement parts available for the aluminum arms or handles?
The limited lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects, but specific replacement parts are not typically offered separately.
