Simple Simon wasn't doing too bad until he got down to:
Radar also needs to be
mounted high up - the higher to better so it can 'look
down'.

Look down? First of all, if you mount too high you can see over close in things - at the
top of a 0 foot mast, you'll miss small buoys 250 feet from the boat. Second, higher up
you'll get more sea clutter.

This isn't possible on a sailing yacht because
the higher up the worse the heel.

Are you saying the heel angle on your mast is more higher up? I thought only my old
Nonsuch did that!

You end up with a
gimballed mount lower down that's garbage.


I think some of them are too low, and I don't like having it on the stern, but I don't
think thy're garbage.
