My 1989 Imray C1 chart magnetic rose agrees with the written
variation figure.
I find the small scale yachtsmen's charts like those sold by Imray,
quite convenient on a small boat. Sometimes the admiralty chart
packs seem a bit too awkward in a confined space, especially when
frequent reference to several charts is necessary.
