radar reflector on sail cloth
Looking for radar information: if I wrap aluminum foil around the battens in the sails would that be enough of a flat surface to make a big blimp on some ones radar screen. A local fisherman here in Mazalan told me he sometime cannot see a small sailboat, that's scary???? How big a metal part is needed ???
Why not simply use a radar reflector designed for the purpose. ----- Original Message ----- From: "MC Carpenter" <southisland2@earthlink.net> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Sunday, November 02, 2003 11:12 PM Subject: M_Boats: radar reflector on sail cloth
