Radar necessary, recommended?
I'm considering installing a short-range radar on my 26M, and I would appreciate recommendations or comments. For example, when traveling down the Houston-Galveston ship channel, it would be helpful to be able to see traffic going up and down the channel in the event of fog or rain that obstructed visibility. Also, it would be helpful to be able to see oil platforms, traffic, etc., offshore in poor weather conditions or at night. Joe, is this a concern for you when you go down the channel? Do most sailors consider this a necessity for offshore sailing, and if so, what types do you recommend? Did you mount the radome on top of mast, or on an aft-mounted radar mast? Jim |
