The Viking Clinometer: Because Knowing Your Tilt Is Better Than Guessing It
Imagine charging into rough seas with the deck tilting like a drunken kangaroo. You could just cling to the rail and hope for the best. Or, you could glance at the Barigo Viking Clinometer 911CR and know exactly how far your vessel is leaning.
This isn’t a gimmick. It’s a precision-built, chrome-plated brass instrument, made in Germany by people who believe “close enough” is a national insult. At 155 mm across, it’s large enough to read at a glance, even when the horizon is doing its best rollercoaster impression.
Mounted on the bridge, it quietly does its job: measuring tilt, heel, and slope angles relative to gravity. In other words, it tells you whether you’re stylishly cutting through the waves… or one rogue swell away from swimming with your furniture.
Why You’ll Want One
Chrome-Plated Brass Casing – Solid, weighty, and built to outlast the ship it’s mounted on. Precision German Engineering – Trusted by mariners who take their instruments seriously. Large 155 mm Dial – Clear, classic, and readable at a glance. Functional & Decorative – As practical on a bridge as it is handsome on a wall at home.
What’s a Clinometer Anyway?
A clinometer (sometimes called an inclinometer) measures slope or tilt relative to gravity. On ships, it monitors the angle of heel, crucial when you’re steering through rough seas, performing sharp manoeuvres, or balancing cargo. In short: it’s about safety, stability, and not ending up sideways.
Ideal For
- Professional crews who don’t leave balance to chance.
- Yacht owners who like their navigation instruments to look as sharp as their boats.
- Nautical décor lovers who want more than just “pretty brass things.”
