I Sidebar question: Am I woefully ignorant on radar implementation or am I correct in assuming that a target heading directly for one's bow would be invisible to a mizzen mounted radar due to the three-to-four degree "screen" of the main mast directly ahead? Or am I missing something? Why the mizzen (aside from its convenience and the fact few people use a mizzen stays'l, so nothing to hook the radome or mount). R. Quite possibly, IF you where an expert helmsman at all times. otn BTW I hate small displays. I'd get the biggest one possible. Also, don't get hung up on the "height of eye" distance capabilities of your radar ..... your "HE" may only say 6ish miles, but you'll be able to see a whole bunch of stuff beyond that. otn |
