Flash-Tide Instruments: the navigation specialist
Created in 1991 by Alain Noury, the Flash-Tide brand has immediately distinguished itself by the innovative design of its navigation rules (some of which have been patented), making them easier to use and read during navigation, training or exams.
Recognised for the quality of its products, Flash-Tide's models are designed and manufactured in France (in Picksea's workshops) using innovative marking processes to ensure that the graduations remain accurate over time. Flash-Tide also offers dry point compasses as well as packs and kits for the preparation of offshore licences or maritime exams.
