This is why I avoid going in a straight line :-)

The only way the mast would make for a problematic blank or shadow
would be if the boat and the target were both completely still.

Thanks for the clarifications, guys. So, to sum up, if you have a
mizzen, it's a great spot for a radar with little downside unless you
think you need the height of the mainmast, but then you may foul an
overlapping genoa.

Does that sum it up?

Reason I'm asking is that steel ketches look good to me on a number of
levels.

Now, if I can just figure out how to put a windvane AND davits behind
a mizzen mast....G
