I assume it's a small sailboat and doesn't carry a radar reflector.

I don't think that matters anymore with a decent modern radar unit.
My new 4 KW Furuno routinely picks up small sailboats that are 4 or 5
miles away. Parts of the Gulf are just littered with crab and shrimp
boats however and you'd blend in with them on the radar. With your
sails down you'd be difficult to spot by eye from more than 2 or 3
miles away.
