Radar Reflector for Sailboats, Tube Type, ⌀ 1.97" x 23.3", 21.5 Square' Reflective Area, Emergency Boat Signal

I purchased this for kayaking in Northern Maine, the land of self-driving lobster boats.Basically, due to economics, the lobsterman works below deck while traveling. He has an autopilot GPS to get him to harbor, or to his traps, or the boatyard, whatever..... But there is no one at the wheel!! The guy has to work hard for a living so he is below deck working on the traps or lines. Instead, the radar is on, and it chimes if it sees something close to the boat.For a kayak, that could be 100-200 yards. So I put this on a fiberglass rod driveway marker, kluge it up to the boat with one of those toy flag holders for fishing kayaks, so its 4 feet above the water. Then I don't get overly anxious if there is fog and I hear the drone of a motor. Some sailboat said he could see me at 1/2 mile with radar in AGC mode (ie sensitivity not turned up), and that's when we ended the conversation...it could have more range

Great for sailboats if you want a small footprint, I attached to flag line.

Reflector came on time, in good condition and as described. Reflector is good looking and easily hoists up spreaders much better than the round radar reflectors. This tube reflector doesn't rattle around in the wind like the round reflectors do.

This is a great radar reflector, and much more compact than the large round versions! It is great that this will attach to an antenna, mast. This really gives me a piece of mind, especially in fog!

i removed one of those round sectional reflectors this looks much better and with no dissimilar metal corrosion issues.

Expect the plastic to yellow after 2-3 years in the weather. Otherwise does the job.

Perfect! Lights the boat right up!Makes you visible on radar miles away!

Good, it's very fast delivery.
