Default Radar necessary, recommended?

How many batteries does a MAC 26 carry? More than one would be too

It's just amazing what a bitter jealous dude Sloco is. The M26 can
certainly carry and extra battery with no problem! Two batteries will
handle a radar with little problem. I had a far less power stingy radar
on my C&C and it worked fine with two group 27s on the 3-4 days of
sailing and also part time running the fridge. We did not operate it
all the time because that's just stupid and I don't know any pleasure
sailboat that does. Use it when you need it. It will work fine on your
boat and will be fun to use. Ours came in very handy showing T-storms
approaching and we'll install a new one on our 35s5 for Spring. As far
as I know Sloco has no radar at all, but he does fly a trisymetrical
uniradial Twinky-Fibre 177% genoa with a leech line made from real
leech intenstines. He got 51% off and only paid 12.5K for it!
