A while ago Rohan mentioned a new unit that Velocitek had a new unit development that would include a countdown timer, and a compass. Well it looks like they have finally released the new unit, the SC1.

The SC1 looks to be a great unit, and has gone on my mental I want one for the new boat list.

Whilst the unit is not cheap at $599USD ($710Aus), a Tacktik T060 micro compass will set you back $498Aus by itself. Then throw in a watch with a countdown timer and a GPS, and it soon looks like pretty good value.
