will have to check out policy to see what it says.

Hello all,
During the rendezvous, there was a brief discussion about radar and
mounting options. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts and experiences
with radar, and which mounting location (mast, backstay, or on pole/arch
aft of cockpit) you prefer, and why.
Our 35 had a radome mounted on a p
Had pole. Big and ugly. Have backstay mount for years. Love it on my 40-2.

Ought a Garmin radiometric to match our chart plotter. Looked into backstay
mount. Very expensive. Raced on c&c 115 with mast mount. Interfered with jib
sometimes but was very affordable mount planned on stern pole but woukd
require some thought to clear bimini.

Hello Shawn,
On our last boat I had a self-levelling LMN-1 mast mount. It performed well and
I liked it. I did not race the boat so not as concerned with possibility of
halyards catching between the self-level support and mast although it did
happen to me once. On an unrelated occasion I had to

Yes, it would have been Esta Es at Mackinaw in 1997. The owner was Gene

Shawn,
On Calypso we have the radar antenna mounted on a stern pole with a Scan Strut
adjustable tilt base. On the C&C 36 we owned before the 43 we had a Questus
back stay pole with a dampened mount. The dampening is necessary to prevent
radar cable wire fractures from repetitive bending.
We
Hello Martin,
For "Phantom" that would be Escanaba, MI on the bay of Green Bay in Lake
Michigan. It was the pride of our harbor, my hometown and yes owned by the
Walsh family. She and Catalyst C&C 38, Moon Shell C&C39 were the reasons I
bought a C&C when I grew up and finally could afford on
Greg,
Thanks for the additional details from when “Calypso” was “Phantom”. It must
have been great having 3 classic C&C designs around during the early years of
your sailing experience. I know my 5 years (including 2
Seattle/LA/Honolulu/Seattle summers) on a C&C 39 early in my big boat racing
