Many manufacturers make tri-recs tools, including the 57? degree triangle and the half-rectangle. Marti Michell is one. I think I got the EZ International ones, that are frequently 50% off at Joann's . http://www.joann.com/wrights-ez-tri-...r/4192068.html.

Some people think the tri-rec rec ruler is just a badly inaccurate 60 degree triangle. Nope. It is deliberately cut at the angle it is just for storm at sea (and certain star blocks that also use such an angle)
