I need info on marine radar detectors. Here's the reason. I have a friend
that is planning to cross the atlantic solo. He'll be in his 30" sailboat.
This will be his 3rd trip across. He had a near miss last trip and is
interested in some sort of radar detection system for comforts sake. I've
been trying to talk him into a radar system but he's stubborn and set in
his ways. He hates electronic systems on his boat. Anyone have any ideas?
Know of any brands, websites, makes, models? Or just ideas that would make
his trip safer?
Fred

Just type 'radar detector' into a search engine and all kinds of info
comes up. It seems the tubular ones are useless. The only ones that
really work are the aluminium tetrahedron (?) type.

A radar detector will only work if the other ships have their radar on. A
radar reflector would make your friend more visible, but only if the other
ships have their radar on.
I guess it's hard for me to be very positive, your friend is just a jerk.

He'll be in his 30" sailboat

That must be some record! That is a whole 17" shorter than the previous
record attempt. Good luck. It won't be very comfortable. I hope that he
makes it.

Try the 'See Me' active radar detector, makes you look like a cargo ship.

A radar detector relies on the other vessel having theit radar on, so
there's a signal for the detector to "detect", far better to have his own
Radar.
