Radar will expand your sail times and remove much angst regarding night
sails.

They have small radome units with flat panels now that take little power
and no room at all.

Probably good advice. I'm looking at the Furino 1623. - Small radome and
low current drain.


That Furuno model is a suitable unit for a smaller boat. It's as fine a
radar as any other in its specification range.
