Nope!
Once the sail gets wet the reflectance goes down.... Just like a radar reflector cant be seen (attenuated radar-wise) if its shadowed by or behind a wet sail. Parallax wrote: 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. |
