Yachting Monthly had a review a few years back (2005?). The review is freely available off the Internet (http://www.yachtingmonthly.com/archive/how-well-does-your-radar-reflector-work-2874). I am not sure if this is the one Dave meant. Regardless, it is worth a look. Marek From: CnC-List

Have you seen the performance data on different radar reflectors? Some are not worth putting up if you really need to be seen. The cylindrical they tested was one of the worst. I have a pdf I can send to anyone interested. There are probably other reviews out there as well. Dave > On Apr

Tom, Maybe stating the obvious, but I would try drilling a test hole in a piece of scrap plywood, to test out getting a snug fit. It's not easy to change the size of the hole once drilled :-) Damian C 34 GHOSTBass Harbor, Maine From: Sam Salter via CnC-List To:

Ron, Not sure if you have looked at this option but we have a cylindrical radar reflector that is zip tied to the back stay above the split. Causes us no grief, it's quiet and works. Len Mitchell Crazy Legs 1989 37+. Sent from my mobile device.

Bruce, I did this on my 1984 C 32 and the results are great using 1” thick with reflective surface and foam and actually a Rubber intermediate layer. I purchased the material from Defender and would recommend the kit or components of the kit for the most straight forward approach. I did not

Just bought a 4x8 sheet of dark grey 3/8" cast acrylic (2074) from Piedmont Plastics (should arrive in 2 weeks). And yes, my CS 30 appears to have grey rather than bronze windows.  My forward hatch was replaced by the PO - definitely a dark grey tint.
