Radar needs a dedicated radar operator.
Skippy nor anybody else can competently handle radar and sailing at the same
time. Those are the facts.

Radar, for a lone hander or shorthander like Skippy, is a dangerous
distraction and nothing more than that. It invites trouble as it's used as
an excuse to go where you shouldn't be going in the first place. Lose the
radar!

My dearest wilbur:

feel qulified to ask you questoins on such technology. I would not
want to insult your intelligence with lubberly and ill-constructed
questions.

Can you get the radar endorsement by passing the test or do you need
the 5 days of school also?

Good question.............. I don know fur sur.. My feeling is its one
that reaqurites the course/cert. From what I hear its a ourse where yo
actually learn somthing. They are however designed for the more
commercial sized units ie "RADAR UNLIMITED"
Prices run about $500-900 with $700 about average.

Ill keep ya posted although I got a new girl friend in portland and I
might want to spend the 14 days with her..... ya just dont want to let
those 28 yo alone too long. Lets see RADAR class or get layed by a
cute bycle ridding tree hugging granola girl...................
