FOM 9 DESIGNS

The art and science of navigation. The evolving tools of the craft.

FOM 9 is built from the art, science and culture of finding your way at sea—Bowditch, celestial navigation, electronic systems, bridge work and the judgment underneath all of it.

The designs come from the work behind the subject, then get carried ashore.

THE FOM 9 STORY

The clothing came later. The subject was already there.

FOM 9 grew from more than three decades in naval navigation—standing watch, crossing oceans, teaching the craft, and working with the systems that keep ships oriented when certainty gets thin.

The references are real because the work behind them is real.
