Is the radar scan head counterbalanced so that it stays level?

Say what????

bwahahahahaha!

There looks to be an
unused fairlead on the starboard side of the coach roof, near the fender.

More than one. The boom vang is removed.

I'm surprised I didn't spot that, what with the trasnparent mast and the
super-hi-res photograph. (What on earth are you using for a digicam, anyway?
VGA res at least, please.)

It would appear to be level with the horizon, which the boat isn't. If it
doesn't self-level, does that mean that the mountings are loose?

It's a Questas self leveling hydrolic mount.

The car for
the port jibsheet looks to be in the middle of the track, while the
starboard sheet looks to be coming down to the forward end of the track -
were you furling and unfurling with every tack/gybe?

Yup...but means nada. We were adjusting them before and after the pic.

Why?

Note that the mount is level when the boat is heeled. Works well. I spent some
time practicing reading the radar yesterday.
