Radar will expand your sail times and remove much angst

They have small radome units with flat panels now that

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

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