We are really happy with the way our new radar installation came out, particularly the Edson tower.
We have long felt that the best place for a radar is on a tower, not on the mast or backstay.
It even inclines for when we are heeled in fog…yes, we get wind and fog here in Nova Scotia.
And here’s a fun hack. When I got it installed it was a little wobbly due to the slight play between the tube glassed into the hull and the tower tube, so I preloaded it to the rail with Dyneema lashings—lighter and easier than struts.
While we’re still debating over acquiring a radar, if we do, that pole looks just the ticket!
