This might be a slightly odd request but this is the fediverse after all…

Does anyone have a sextant I can borrow?

I want to have some navigation-related activities for a workshop later in the month and this would be fun.

I should probably have mentioned I’m in the UK

I've got a couple, but US based.

You can get plastic training ones fairly cheap.

A good alternative is a demicross which can be knocked together with a couple of measuring sticks, or paper bits taped to a large construction square (used for plywood or drywall).
