Default Radar reflector

A back issue of Practical Sailor said that radar returns from
sailboats are very weak without a radar reflector. So.....Useless
idea #3724

Have sailmakers put a few electrically conducting threads in the sail
every few cm so the whole thing reflects. It isnt as good as the
corner cube reflectors and will vary a lot with point of sail but, its
probably waaaaaay better than no refelctor.
