I hope you won't mind me dissenting, Bill, but the round Davis one's really
don't seem to work well at all. Northbound when you arrive on the
Continental Shelf south of New England, the longline fishermen mark their
lines with a 10' tall pole with a regular-sized Davis or equivalent
reflector on
Some work better than others, but to be sure, many of them work well
enough to be more than worth having. The very simple and relatively
inexpensive Davis works. That is a scientific fact, and not some
magazine writer's opinion. Nothing is a guarantee, but look closely at
modern navaids and
if this is the one Dave meant. Regardless, it is worth a look.

Have you seen the performance data
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

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.

I carry a Davis because the Offshore regs require it, not because it works.
Hopefully US Sailing will wise up.

I don't bother using one anymore.

Ron,
We used two blocks to make a triangle so the reflector does not chafe
through the line after loosing a reflector with a one-block system. (The
outer 'block' was a stainless ring luggage tagged around the shroud and
spreader) I also made a bridle out of wire fishing leader to attach to the
I'm planning to put spreader halyards on Patriot primarily for a radar
reflector. My thought is to put one block a few inches in from the shrouds
and another about 12" in from the first block. Does anyone have any
guidance or photos they can share?
Regards,
Ron
