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?

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. "FMCCARTY" wrote in message >I need info on marine radar detectors. Here's the reason.

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. Graham >> Stay informed about: marine radar detectors

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.

I would recommend the AN/SLQ-32 detector system. It is kind of old, but does the job.

There may be more appropriate choices. http://ssca.org/DiscBoard/viewtopic.php?p=20241 has some useful information. We have a Tamaya Marine Check. As the above link says, it works well and is economical on batteries, but you may have trouble finding a source. >> Stay informed about: marine radar detectors
