Did you know

Lilley & Gillie, a company with a heritage in nautical instrument manufacturing dating back to 1812, has continuously developed magnetic compasses and binnacles. The SR4 compass, often integrated into their binnacle systems, was introduced in 2010.
The Lilley & Gillie Binnacle, specifically the MK2020S, is positioned as a full-height binnacle suitable for vessels of any size, including commercial vessels over 150 GRT, fishing vessels over 35m, and naval vessels. In contrast, the MK2002S-W is a reduced-height binnacle designed for smaller vessels, approved for those up to 150 gross tonnes.
The Lilley & Gillie Binnacle (MK2020S) is chosen for its robust construction from marine aluminum, its comprehensive set of correctors to meet IMO and ISO standards, and its compatibility with the SR4 Class A compass, which features a polycarbonate body to prevent leaks and improve visibility.

Model	Height	Footprint	Approved for Vessels
MK2020S Binnacle	1,380mm	485mm rounded square	Any size (commercial >150GRT, fishing >35m, naval)
MK2002S-W Binnacle	577mm	520mm diameter circle	Up to 150 GRT
