Build in Radar reflector - 2008 Bavaria 34 Cruiser
« on: September 04 2015, 11:53 »
Dear Bavaria owners,

For those 2008 cruiser series sail boat, is the Radar reflector build in at the stern of the boat? I read that from few sources on the internet, but just can't verify its existence. Just bought a used Bavaria 34 and considering a passag race this month. So a Radar reflector is a piece of essential safety equipment to us.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards
Felix

Don't know about this, but a radar reflector at the stern sounds illogical - they are typically placed at the vicinity of the mast above the bottom spreaders (mast top, attached to shrouds etc.)

I've never read anything about an integral radar reflector.  What are your sources?

Thanks guys, it was from couple of charter boat specifications. Can't locate them at the moment.
